right we pass the Guard Suleim, with a waterfall, and on the left
the falls of the Glaama and the hamlet (Greend) of Glaamstad.

d. From Storvik to Lake Gjende.
l’/2-2 Days. The pedestrian route described below is preferable to the
new road, on which there are no skvds-stations. The night may be spent
at a sæter.
From the Gndbrandsdal to Sørum and Storvik, see p. 129. —
From Storvik the Footpath ascends the right (E.) bank of the
Tesse-Elv to the Ringnas-Sceter, thence to theS.W. to the *Oxefos,
or Endinfos, and across the river to the Nord-Seetre at the N.W. end
of the Tessevand (3010 ft.), a lake 6 Engl. 31. long, abounding in
trout, which is said to have been presented by St. Olaf to the
inhabitants of Gardmo (p. 130). We row to the Naaver-Sceter at the
S. end of the lake, whence the route mentioned at p. 146 leads
through the Smaadal to the Visdal.
The path now traverses the disagreeable marshes formed by the
Smaadøla at its influx into the lake. A horse may possibly be
obtained at the Naaver-Sæter to enable the traveller to cross the swamp
dryshod; if not, he must keep as far as possible to the right in
order to avoid it. Beyond this point the path leads to the S. to the
(6 hrs. from Storvik) —
Fugl-Seeter (3145 ft.; good quarters). If time permit, the
traveller may ascend the Fuglehø (5160 ft.), in order to obtain a view
of the Jotunheim Mountains.
About 3 Kil. to the sJ of the Fugl-Sæter wc reach the
picturesque, pine-clad Sjodal. Our route, steep at first, follows the left
(W.) bank of the Sjoa, and about 4 Kil. farther on reaches the
Veoli-Sæter (3496 ft.), on the X. side of the Veodal.
The neighbouring * Veoknappen (4760ft.) commands an admirable survey
of the Glittertind, Nautgardstind, etc. — An uninteresting route, chiefly
used by reindeer-stalkers, leads through the Veodal and crosses the
Skaiti-flyene (5870 ft.), between the Glittertind and the Veobræ; it then descends
bv the right bank of the Skauta-Elv to the Nedre Sulheims-Saler in the
Visdal (p. 146).
The route now descends into the Veodal, crosses the Veo-E.tr
by a bridge, and reaches the (l’/2 hr. from the Veoli-Sæter)
Hind-Seeter, near the influx of the Store Hinden into the Sjoa (see below).
The Koad, as indicated at p. 130, diverges to the left from the
Bredevangeu and Kedsheim road just beyond the gaard of Volden,
passes the Falls of the Tesse-Elv (see above; right), the Ringners-Settre
(left), and the Lemonsjø (right), and reaches the Kalren-Seeter, at
the S. end of this lake. It then descends to the valley of the Rinda
and the Randsvark Setters (2395 ft.; accommodation), crosses the
watershed between the Rinda and the Sjoa, and ascends through the
valley of thelatter to the Rind-Setter, where it is joined by the
abovedescribed footpath. It next reaches (1^2 hr.) the Ruslien-Sertre
(p. 142). Thence to Gjendesheim, see p. 143.
