tour. From Selje we row through the Moldefjord to (1 hr.)
Gaarden Eide, whence a good hut rather steep bridle-track crosses
the Mandseid (ca. 490 ft.; p. 169) to Enerhaug, situated on the
Kjødepollen, the innermost branch of the Vanelvsfjord. Then we
proceed by boat in about 1 hr. to (4 Kil.) —
Aahjem, at the S.W. end of the Vanelosfjord, near the church
and parsonage of Vanelven. A steamer plies hence once weekly, in
about 10 hrs., to Aalesund (see Communicationer, No. 260 C). —
FromAahjem to Bryggen on the Nordfjord, see p. 168.
After leaving Aahjem the steamer calls at Sandvik on the
Stadt-land (whence a footpath leads to Selje, see above; 2 hrs.), the
island of Haugsholm (route to Eltevik, p. 169), Eidsaa on the
Sovdefjord (see below), and several other unimportant stations.
It then traverses the Røvdefjord and the Voldenfjord and reaches
Volden (p. 171) in 5 hrs.
The following is a pleasant excursion of two days, beginning
at Aahjem and ending at Volden. (The traveller is recommended
to take with him some tea or coffee essence and other portable
provisions.) We firstdrive up the Almklovdal for 8 Kil. (5 Engl. M.).
At a point 3 Kil. before reaching Almklov we leave the carriage in
order to ascend (with guide) the hill above the Storlivatn, which
commands an admirable view of the Servdefjord. We then
descend, passing the Kilebrekvand, to (2 hrs.) Øver-Berg, the highest
gaard in the Saurdal, about 800 ft. above the sea-level. Thence the
steep road descends in 3 4 hr. to Neder-Berg and the Saurdalzgaarde
on the Saurdalsvatn, where a carriage is hired to continue the
journey. In about 1 o hr. we reach Vik and the church of Søvde,
on the Servdefjord, the E. bank of which is extremely precipitous
and picturesque, while the W. bank is flat and studded with
pleasant gaards. Among these is Eid»aa, where the Aalesuhd
steamboat calls twice weekly (comp. Communicationer, 260 C ; see above).
From Vik we may drive in the same carriage up the Norddal,
passing the waterfall of Sarpen, to Tverberg, the highest gaard in
the valley. Thence we proceed on foot, with the aid of a guide,
skirting a brook and several small lakes and at last ascending
somewhat rapidly to a sæter above the Dalsfjord, commanding a
magnificent view. We then descend by a well-marked saeter-track to
the Indsel-Sceter, 3 hrs. from Tverberg, where good accommodation
for the night may be procured. The Dalsfjord (not to be
confounded with the fjord mentioned at p. 167), an arm of the
Voldenfjord, is about 17 Kil. (10i/2 Engl. M.) in length and is
enclosed on both sides by mountains 3000-4000 ft. high. At the S.
end of it, 5 Engl. M. from the Indsel-Sæter, lies Stensvik.
On the second day we row in (’2 hr. to Indre Dale, and then (with
guide) ascend through the Dalsdal and descend through the
Laurdal to Birkedal (p. 171). The traveller is recommended to
