beginning with the land-route: — 1st day. To Eidsvaag. 2nd day, on foot
or by boat to Nøste, on foot or by carriole to ffveraas, by boat across
the Éikisdalsvand to Reitan-Utigaard. 3rd day, by boat back to Øveraas,
on foot to Nøste, and in the afternoon by steamer to Molde. — If the
traveller prefers to begin with the steamer, he should proceed on the
first day to Reitan-Utigaard; spend the second night at Eidsvaag; and
return on the third day to Molde. — Parties who hire the private steamer
of the Grand Hotel (see p. 194) may accomplish the excursion, after a
very hurried fashion, in one day.
The Laxd Route from Molixe to Nøstb (70 Kil. or 43!/2 Engl.
M.) is, with the exception of the Fanestrand (p. 197) and the
stretch between Tjelde and Eidsvaag, somewhat monotonous. The
skyds-stations are all fast, but generally afford very indifferent food
and accommodation. The station of Molde is at Fuglscet, about
1 Engl. M. to the E., but the hotel-keepers arrange for direct
conveyances. We engage the skyds for —
9 Kil. Strande (p. 198), or all the way to Eide. •— Beyond
Strande the road skirts the bank of the Fanefjord, on whose S.
side rises the mighty Skaalan (3590 ft.).
13 Kil. Eide (tolerable quarters), where the route to
Christiar.s-sund, described on p. ‘206, diverges to the N. — The fjord ends
at the church of Kleve; but the road continues along the N. side
of the valley to —
9 Kil. Istad. A little beyond this the road forks, the branch
to the left leading to Angvik (p. 206), while our road runs to the
right, through a monotonous wooded district, called the Osmark,
with a view of the majestic Skaalan on the right. Crossing the
Storelv, the road passes on the right the Osvand and the gaard
of Gusiaas, and after traversing a more solitary region skirts the
Sjørseetervand, with the gaard of the same name, and the Scetervrmd.
Thence it descends steeply, commanding a beautiful view of the
Langfjord and the snow-peaks to the S.
13 Kil. Tjelde, on the Langfjord. — The road proceeds
towards the E. at a considerable elevation above the Langfjord, and
afterwards descends, always with a line view of the mountains to
the y among which the Skjortan is conspicuous. We next pass
the old wooden church of Red (about to be pulled down) and several
substantial-looking gaards.
9 Kil. Eidsvaag (*//. Sverdrup’s Hotel, R. 1 kr., S. 1 kr. 20,
B.^SOø.), situated at the E. end of the fjord, which is here shallow,
and at low water completely covered with sea-weed. A picturesque
walk may be taken to the new church, 10 min. to the N.
Passengers who take the steamer here have to row out to it in a small
boat (10 er.).
From Eidsvaag a road leads over the Tiltereid to Eidsøren on the
Sundalsfjord (9 Kil.); see p. 173.
Onr road continues to skirt the bank of the fjord, and passes
the large gaard of Varpeners and the parsonage of (5 Kil. from
Eidsvaag) A asset, where the novelist Bjørnson spent part of his
youth. Farther on the road becomes very hilly, at places affording
