St. Olafs Bad.
Ringerike.
heldig Beliggenhed i en paa Naturskjønheder rig Egn
samt en dygtig Bestyrelse, har nu gjort det til et af
de mest berømte og besøgte Badesteder i Norden.
44. Parti aff St. Oljifs Slndw galonbyguting.
45. Kaggefos. I St. Olafs Bads Park ligger
Kaggefos, der dannes af Snarumselvens
(Hallingdals-elvens) samlede Vandmasse og frembyder et imposant
og malerisk Skue. Billedet fremstiller et Parti af denne
smukke Fos.
46. Doviggfoø hører blandt de mest yndede
Udflugter fra St. Olafs Bad. Imellem Stationerne
Houg-sund og Aamot, og efterat man har passeret Skotselven
Station, gaar Banen paa en vakker Jernbro over
Døvigs-fos, der, især om Vaaren og Forsommeren, naar
Vandmassen er stor, tager sig pragtfuldt og storartet ud.
Hallingdal og Valders.
En Reise over Høifjeldet fra Østlandet til Bergens
Stift frembyder saa mange Overgange og Afvexlinger
i Henseende til Høideforhold, Plantevæxt og
Naturbeskaffenhed i det Hele — Folkekarakteren ikke at
forglemme, — at Yderpunkterne af denne Route danne
slaaende Modsætninger. Denne Iagttagelse kan
naturligvis kun gjøres fuldt ud, naar Reisen foretages om
Sommeren: thi kun da kan man dømme om
Plantevæxten, denne vigtige Faktor i et Landskabs Karakter.
Disse Trakter vi her levere enkelte Billeder af, viser
from this charming spot. Through a narrow ravine,
the sides clothed with fir and pine, and with a burn
brawling below, the steep road lays straight before
you. So precipitous is the bill, that Klevstuen, a small
farm at the summit, not more than one-eighth of a
mile from Sundvolden, lies 1000 feet above it. But
arrived at the top, you behold a landscape so lovely
and varied, that probably no other spot in southern
Norway can compare with it. Language is weak in
describing such glorious scenes: a few words only must
suffice. In the foreground, a precipice down to the
fjord itself, with a wild mingling of forest and debris;
tbe houses of the farms below mere specks, the long
bridge across the sound, — Modum, and Sylling, and
many distant tracts — and Gausta, Norefjeld, and other
snow-peaks, a score of miles away on the horizon.
There are two points from which the wiews are finest,
called resputively ..Dronningens" and „Kongens Udsigt" ;
the latter is the grandest.
43. HönefoH is a town with 1,200 inhabitants,
situated at the junction of the Bandselv with the Beegna,
which form here the magnificent falls from which the
town derives its name. The river, Storelven, then
empties into the Tyrifjord, which, at Vikersund, pours its
waters into the Dramselv. Excellent quarters at
Madame Glatvedt’s Hotel, and at the Jernbanehotel. The
environs of the town are very beautiful: Hofsfos and
Svinefos, a little up the river are worth a visit.
