21. Overland Route from Bergen to Aalesund and
Molde.

Comp, the Haps atpp. 108, 168, and 200. which join each other, as indicated
in the general map at the end of the book.

The ‘overland route’ from Bergen to 3Iolde (or to Aalesund), a
considerable part of which, however, is by water, is far preferable to the
direct steamboat-voyage. It passes some of the grandest and wildest glacier
and fjord scenery in Norway, all of which lies so near the road that it
is easily surveyed from the traveller’s Stolkjærre or boat.

404 Kil. (250 Engl. 31.). Steamboat from Bergen to Vadheim (141 Km
or S7’/2 Engl. 31.) thrice weekly in 7-10 hrs. (fares 7 kr. GO, 4 kr. 25 0.;
comp. Communicationer, No. 252 A). — Hoad from Vadheim to Førde i
Bredheim, 87 Kil. (54 31.). — Stf.amkoat from Førde to Red (12 Kil. or
7>/2 31.) thrice daily in l’/g hr. — Road from Red to Utviken, 17 Kil.
(10‘/2 31.), from 3Io’ldestad over a very steep and high hill, which is best
surmounted on foot. — Boat from Utviken to Faleide, 11 Kil. or 7 31.
(a row of 2 hrs.), or Steamboat (twice weekly; see Communicationer,
No. 252 B). — Road from Faleide to Hellesylt, 4G Kil. (28‘/2 31.). —
Steamboat from Hellesylt thrice weekly to Sjøholt (51 Kil. or 31’.,2 31.) in
63;4 hrs. (comp. Communicationer, No. 25S). — Road from Sjøholt to
Vest-nos, 26 Kil. (16 31.). — Steamboat from Vestnæs to Molde (13 Kil. or
8 31.) 6 times weekly in 1 hr. (or by small boat in 2>/2-3 hrs.).

Plan of Exclusion. This route may easily be accomplished by a
good walker in five or six days, if he so times his departure from Bergen
as to catch the steamer from Hellesylt to 3Iæraak. The following outlines
may be useful for ordinary travellers with luggage, and especially if
ladies are of the party, hut they may be modified at pleasure, and they
are of course dependent on the steamboat time-tables, with reference to
which they are framed. Those who can devote 10-12 days or more to
this route should make Faleide, Visnæs, or Oldøren their headquarters
for the magnificent mountain-excursions mentioned below, and Hellesylt
their starting-point for a visit to the Norangsfjord (see R. 20) and the
mountain-pass at the head of the Geiranger Fjord. The tour thus
extended will then embrace far more, of Norway’s sublimest scenery than could
be seen in any other part of the country in the same time.

Five Days (via Vadheim). 1st. On Saturday from Bergen by steamer
to Vadheim, and drive to Ntdre-Vasenden. 2nd. Sunday at X’edre-Vasenden.
(Or on Saturday to Sande only, and on Sunday to Nedre-Yasenden.) 3rd.
On 31onday to Utviken. 4th. On Tuesday to Heitesylt. 5th. On Wednesday
by steamer to Sjøholt, drive to Vestnæs, and cross by boat to Molde (or
by steamer from Hellesylt to Aalesund). — Or we may proceed by steamer
from Hellesylt through the picturesque Norangsfjord and Jørundfjord to
Sæbø, drive thence to Hrstenvik, and again by steamer to Aalesund. Comp.
R. 20.

Seven Days (vid Vadheim). 1st day. On 3Ionday or Friday at midnight
by steamer from Bergen to Vadheim, and drive to Sande. 2nd day.
To Ntdre-Vasenden. 3rd day. To Utviken. 4th day. To Grodaas. 5th day.
To Hellesylt. Gth day. To Moeraak. 7th day. To Aalesund or Molde. (Or
spend Sunday at Sjøholt.)

Five Days (vid Sveen on the Dalsfjord). As the. scenery between
Vadheim and Førde on the Førdefjord is of little interest, while the
Dalsfjord and the Førdefjord are well worth seeing, the traveller may
prefer, if the Søndfjord steamboat suits, to travel by it as far as Sveen
on the Dalsfjord (13 hrs.), or to Førde on the Førdefjord (22 hrs.), and
begin his overland journey from one of these points. The Søndfjord
steamer usually leaves Bergen on Wednesdays at midnight. — 1st Day.
On Wednesday from Bergen to Sveen, and drive on Thursday to
Nedre-Vasenden, or, still better, to Førde at the E. end of the Førdefjord (or
take the Nordfjord steamer to Florø (p. 167), and thence drive to Førde).
2nd. On Friday to Faleide. 3rd. On Saturday to Hellesylt and Moeraak.
4th. On Sunday to Aalesund or Molde. (Or spend Sunday at Sjøholt, as
