Strømbu rest area is a gateway to nature, for car tourists as well as for hikers.
Architect: Carl-Viggo Hølmebakk

The tourist route stretches along the eastern side of the mountain massive of Rondane, where this new rest area functions both as an important trailhead for hikers, as well as a natural stopping point and information centre for car tourists.
The building consists of two parts, a heated shelter and toilet facilities. Between the two lies the information kiosk. The shelter opens up towards north, with views out to the river and the forest. The buildings are constructed in in-situ concrete. Railings are made from steel, doors and windows from pine wood. The facilites have high emphasis on universal design.
