Walking Tours. All tlie above tours are easy, being
accomplished almost entirely by steamboat, railway, and carriole, and
the traveller will rarely suffer any privation worthy of mention.
To mountaineers, pedestrians, and lovers of wild and grand scenery,
who are prepared for occasional privations and fatigues, the
following walks and excursions are recommended : —
From ChristiaDsand through the Sætersdal to the Suledalsvand and
Udde, F«R. 6, 9.
Excursions to the Buarbrw and Folgefond. the Skjæggedalsfos, the
Voringsfos, and the walk from Ulvik to Eide, R. 9.

Skjolden, Fortun, and Oscarshoug, 1IE. 14, 17.
From Fortun to Aardal and the Vettisfos, and thence to Lakes Tyin,
Bygdin, and Gjende, RR. 14, 16, 17.

Sport of all kinds has fallen off greatly in Norway and Sweden
of late years. Excellent salmon-fishing is indeed still obtainable,
but only at high rents, and the best rivers, such as the Xamsen-Elv
above Namsos, are let on long leases, chiefly to wealthy Englishmen.
Trout fishing, however, may still be had in abundance by those
who are prepared for some hardships. Among the best waters
(‘Fiskevand) for trout and grayling are the Telemarken Lakes, the
Messnu and Laagen which fall into Lake Mjosen , the Storsjø,
hternsje, and Fcemundsjø, the Östra l)al-Elf and other streams
falling into Lake Siljan in Sweden, the Lule-Elf and the lakes from
which it descends in Lapland, and many other lakes and rivers
mentioned in the Handbook. — It is difficult now to obtain good
shooting in Norway and Sweden , but the mountains enclosing the
Hallingdal are still said to afford good reindeer-shooting, which
may also be had on the Hardanger Vidder, in the neighbourhood
of the Romsdal, near Røros, and in Lapland. Wild-fowl abound
in many parts of Norway, particularly in the trackless forests of
Østerdalen, in the Ostra and Yestra Dal in Dalarne, in the
vicinity of the Storsjö in Jemtland, and in Lapland, but the sportsman
will find serious difficulties to contend with. In the first place
a very large proportion of the mountain and forest districts, where
the best sport is obtainable, belongs to government, and by a
Norwegian law passed in 1877 200-500 crowns, according to
circumstances. must be paid for a license to shoot there. Persons found
shooting without a license are liable to a fine of 200-1000 crowns.
