Edvard Grieg was also interested in the kvede-tradition. He met the great kvede-singer Gjendine Slålien on one of his many hikes in the mountains, and wrote down a lot of her material. Kaia Gjendine Slaalien is probably the most famous person who has been living over several years at Gjendebu. She was born at Gjendebu - in the recently restored "Gjendinebua" - the summer of 1871. Most of her life Gjendine spent in Jotunheimen area, basicly at Gjendebu, Skogadalsboen and Spiterstulen. <a href=
