AV., descend into the Sjodat, hy a new path furnished with
‘Varder’, and cross the Sjoa to Gjendesheim (3315 ft.; p. 142).
b. From Bjølstad to Lake Gjende.
l’/2-2 Days, spending a night at the Griningsdnls-Sætve.
Bjølstad in Hedalen, see p. 123. The path at first follows
the left (X.) hank of the Sjoa, and leads past Aaseng and
Fjer-dinggrand to Gaarden Stene, to the X. of which is the Lus-Sater,
commanding a magnificent distant view of Jotunheim, and well
deserving a visit. We next reach (2 hrs.) the Rinds-Sceter, at the
confluence of the Sjoa and the Rinden ■Elv. We may now follow the
latter stream to (1 hr.) Randsvark (2400 ft.; good sæters), and
cross the Graahe to the S. to the Riddersprang. According to
tradition, the ‘Valdersridder’ with his abducted bride, when
pursued by the ‘Sandburidder’, sprang across the rocky chasm. Or we
may reach the same point from the Rinds-Sæter by following
the Sjoa.
From the Riddersprang the route follows the right (F.) hank of
the Sjoa to the Salien-Sieter and the Siutgangen-Sæter. We now
quit the Sjodal and turn to the S.E., round the Stutgangen-Kamp,
and thus reach the Griningsdal, with its sæters (3575 ft.; good
quarters).
The path leads round the large rocky knoll of Kampen (4585 ft.),
to the W. of the Griningsdal, to the Kamp-Sater and the
Grasvik-Sceter, at the X. end of the upper Sjodalsmind (2255 ft.). From
this point we may row to the Besstrand-Sætre or Bes-Sætre (p. 142),
and walk thence to Gjendeosen; or we may walk the whole way
thither, skirting the E. bank of the Sjodalsvand the first part of
the way. — Gjendesheim,’ see p. 143.
c. From Bredevangen to Rødsheim.
86 Kil. (51 Engl. 31.). Road with fast stations (carriole 13 a. per Kil.)
— This route’is one of the principal approaches to Jotunheim and is also
traversed by travellers from the Gudbrandsdal to the Sognefjord (comp,
p. 128).
Bredevangen, see p. 123. — The route diverges from the
Gud-brandsdal road at Kringlen, to the X. of Bredevangen, crosses the
Laagen, and ascends the wooded and monotonous Ottadal.
11 Kil. Aasoren. "We then pass the old farms of Tolfstad and
Bjørnstad.
16 Kil. Snerle , where the road from Bjølstad i Hedal and
Storklevstad (p. 123) joins ours. The valley now expands, and the
snow-capped Lomseggen (p. 148) becomes visible in the distance.
7 Kil. Sørum (*Inn, comfortable), 1) hr. to the W. of which
is the curious old church of Vaage. The road to Nordre Snerte, and
Laurgaard diverges just before we reach Serum (21 Kil. ; p. 124).
The road now follows the S. bank of a lake 36 Kil. (22 Engl. Al.)
in length, called the Vaagevand as far as Andvord, and the Otta-
Hakukkkr’s Norway and Sweden. 4tli Edit. 9
