verges to the N. and in 1 */o hr. crosses the hill which separates it
from the district of Yalders. Fine view from the top of the hill of
the snowy Gjeldedalstind, the Koldedalstind, and the
Stolsnaas-tind to the N. W. of the lake.
Lake Tyin (3630 ft.), 10 Engl. M. long, 1-2 M. broad, and at
places over 300 ft. deep, with a wide hay at the4V. end from which
the Aardela issues, is a beautiful Alpine lake, the hanks of which,
like those of the other lakes of Jotunheim are uninhabited, except
by a few cowherds in summer, the most important of whose
‘Fæ-læger’ are marked in the map (p. 132). At the S. end, where the
lake is reached, lies the unpretending inn of Jotunstølen, with six
clean beds. Boat to Tvindehoug (for 1,2, 3 persons with 1 rower
2 kr. 40, 2 kr. 80, 3 kr. 20 0. ; with 2 rowers 3 kr. 60, 4 kr. 40,
0 kr. 20 0.). On every side rise lofty mountains. Above the
Fæ-lager of Maalnas towers the pyramidal Uranaastind (p. 140), and
to the S. rises the Suletind on the Fillefjeld.
Tvindehoug, a large club-hut of the Turist-Forening (kept by
G. Skattebo), is one of the chief stations of the Jotunheim guides.
Ascent of the Shinegg (p. 138) l1 4-2 hrs.; guide hardly necessary.
The Koldedalstind nr Falketind (6700 ft.), to the N.W. of Lake Tyin,
is most conveniently ascended from Tvindehoug (8-10 hrs.; guide 4 kr.).
We row across the lake, ascend the valley of the Koldedela to the foot
of the Falketind, and then climb, most of the way over glaciers, to the
summit. The view is one of the wildest in Jotunheim. The Falketind
was ascended in 1820 by Prof. Keilhau and Chr. Boeck. and was the first
of the Jotunheim mountains ever climbed. The dangerous descent to the
Koldedal (p. 154) should not be attempted. — From Tvindehoug to the
Vettisfos through the Fleskedal and Koldedal, see p. 154.
Skirting the lake, and then crossing the low Eid or isthmus
which separates lakes Tyin and Bygdin, tve reach Eidsbugarden
(p. 137) in about 2 hrs> more.
c. From Eidsbugarden to the Gjendebod on Lake Gjende.
From Eidsbugarden to the Gjendebod, 4-5 hrs.; guide (hardly
necessary) 2 kr. 40 0., horse 4 kr. (A still finer route than the present is that
already described, from the Nybod Ihrough the Thorfinsdal. pp. 136, 137.)
On the same afternoon ascend the Memurutunge and return by boat from
the Memurubod.
Eidsbugarden, see p. 137. 4Ve take the road along the N. bank
of Lake Bygdin, cross (!/4 M.) the rapid Melkedøla (p. 151) by a
narrow wooden bridge, and reach in about3 4hr. more the
Tolonn-bod, at the mouth of the Tolorma or Høistakka, which point may
also be reached by boat (with one rower, for 1, 2, 3 persons, 8O0.,
1 kr., or 1 kr. 20 0.’). Grand retrospective view of the
snow-mountains to the W. (comp. p. 135).
The path ascends the left bank of the Tolorma, on the W.
slope of the Galdebergstind, and mounts the Oksdalshø, crossing
(P/2 hr.) a brook which descends from that mountain. The route
then leads somewhat steeply up the Gjelhø to the N.E. to the
plateau of Grønneberg. To the left rises the Griishorung (7145 ft.)
