the inns, but good Cognac may lie purchased at any of the large
towns for 4-50 kr. per bottle. A field-glass (Kikkert), a pocket
cork-screw, and a small clothes-brush will be found useful. A
superabundance of clothing should be eschewed. Two strong, but
light Tweed suits, a moderate supply of underclothing, a pair of
light shoes for steamboat and carriole use, and a pair of
extrastrong Alpine boots for mountaineering ought to suffice. Lastly
a couple of square yards of stout waterproof material. to be used
as a wrapper for coats and rugs, or for covering the knees in wet
weather, will complete the traveller’s equipment. The aprons
(Skvætlæder) of the carrioles, it may here be observed , are often
dilapidated, so that a waterproof coat and rug are very desirable.
Visitors to Lapland and the .Swedish Norrland should also be
provided with veils to keep off the gnats. Ladies travelling in Norway
should also dress as simply, strongly, and comfortably as possible,
eschewing all superfluous ornament. Those who aspire to the
rougher mountain tours should be provided with stout gaiters or
leggings. Alpenstocks, coloured spectacles, and the other
paraphernalia required for glacier and snow-mountain expeditions may
be obtained in Christiania (p. 1) or Bergen (p. 69).
Tourist Club. The Norske Turistforening (‘tounrist union’)
extends its useful sphere of operations throughout almost every part
of Norway. These consist in building refuge-huts, improving
mountain paths, establishing tariffs for guides and boats, and otherwise
watching over the interests of travellers. The subscription is only
4 kr. per annum, for which a copy of the ‘Aarbog’ will be sent to
the traveller through the medium of any Norwegian address he
names. The members are always received with marked
courtesy-in the mountainous regions, and enjoy a preference in the case of
a competition for accommodation at the club-huts. Travellers may
enrol themselves at Christiania (see p. 2), Bergen, Throndhjem,
Fagernæs (p. 93), etc. The club-button (Klubknapj, which
members wear as a distinctive badge, costs 80 ø. more. Comp. p. 132.
— A Swedish Tourist Club (Scenska Turistförening) has also been
formed at Stockholm.
Guides usually receive 4-6 kr. per day , and on the expiry of
their engagement have to return home at their own cost. A
distinct bargain should, however, be made in each case.
