on the N.E. side of the cone. On the W. side the Tind ends in a vast
‘Botn’ or basin, 1600 ft. in depth. To the E. the view embraces the
extensive ‘Sætervidder’ of the Gudbrandsdal with their isolated peaks,
as far as the Rondane and the Sølentind in the Østerdal. The
prominent mountains to the S. are the Beshø and the Knutshulstind, while
far below us lies the dark-green Rusvand. The grandest peaks to the
W. are the 3Iemurutind (7965 ft.), the Heilstuguhø (7915 ft.), and the Leirhø
(7881 ft.), with their connected glaciers; then the Galdhøpig, and nearer
us the Glittertind.
From the Rdslien-Sætre to the Memcrubod on Lake Gjende, a long
and somewhat fatiguing day’s walk (9 hrs.). The route at first follows the
left bank of the Russa-Elv, crosses the Sendee and Nordre Treraa (which
must be forded), and reaches the (3 hrs.) Rusvasbod, at the E. end of the
crescent-shaped Rusvand (40S5 ft.), a lake 7 Engl. 31. in length. The
little frequented path skirts the X. bank of the lake, crossing several
mountain-torrents. To the S. are the precipices of the massive Beshø (see
below). At the (3 hrs.) W. end of the lake we ascend the Rusglop, between
the Gloplind on the S. and the Tjukningssuen (7910 ft.) on the N., and
then pass the Ilesttjern, lying to the right. After following the height to
the S. for some distance farther, there is a steep descent to the (3-4 hrs.)
Memttrubod (p. 141), where the muddy Memwu-Elv is crossed by a bridge.
Thence to the Gjendebod, see below.
Route from the Ruslien Sæters to Storvik, see p. 131.
From Gjendesheim an interesting route (to which, however, the great
difficulty of crossing the Leirungs-Elv is a serious drawback) leads through
the Øvre Leirungsdal to the Svartdal, and thence along the Svartdalsaksel
to the Gjendebod (see below). Guide necessary (5 kr. 20 0.).
From Gjendesheim to Lake Btgdin (6-8 hrs., guide 4 kr.; not a
very attractive route). The path leads on the S. bank of the Sjoa to the
Leirungsvand and passes round the E. side of the lake. It then ascends
the course of a brook to the S. to the Brurskardknatte, avoiding the
extensive marshes of the Leirungs-Elv in the valley of that stream. Around
the Leirungsdal rise the imposing Synshorn. ilugnatind, Knutshulstind
(7830 ft.), Kjæmhulstind (7760 ft.), and Hegdelratted. At the top of the hill
towards the S. we reach a dreary plateau called the Valdersfly (5100 ft.;
Fly, ‘marshy mountain-plateau’), with its numerous ponds. Keeping a little
to the E., we then descend by the Rypekjern stream to the Slrrmvand.
For a short distance we follow the tV. bank of the lake, cross the Yinstra
by a bridge, turn towards the S.W., past a spur of the Bitihnm, which
has been visible from the Valdersfly onwards and thus reach the
Raw-fjordsheim Hotel near the E. end of Lake Bygdin (see p. 136).
Those who take this journey in the reverse direction should row
from the ltanfjord Hotel to the Sund-Scrter at the K.E. end of Lake
Bygdin, and along the Breilaupa (p. 136), which descends from the
Kalv’aa-høgda on the N., and ascend towards the N.E. to the Valdersfly, on
which the route unites with that described above.
d. From the Gjendebod to Rødsheim.
l’/s Day. On the first day we walk to Spilerstul in 8-10 hrs., and on
the second to Redsheim in 5 hrs. — Guide (scarcely necessary for
travellers with a map and compass, as there are numerous ‘Varder’) to
8pi-terstul 4 kr., to Rødshcim 5 kr. 60 0.; horse as far as the foot of the steep
ascent to the Uledalsvand 2 kr. 60 0., whereby the fatigue is much
diminished.
The very fatiguing but exceedingly grand walk from the
Gjendebod to Spiterstul should not be attempted without a guide. The
route ascends the left bank of the Store Aadals-Elv and passes
through the defile of Jleistulen, between the Memurutunge and
the Gjendetunge. To the right falls the Glimsclalsfos. Splendid
