Hallingdal og Valders.
Hallingdal and Valders.
bestaar ved Bidrag af Staten for de Veifarendes Skyld;
som Gaard er den ikke stort værd. Der er sagtens
godt Sommerbeite — flere Sætre ligger i Nærheden —,
men Sommeren er kort og Vinteren lang og haard, og
det er ikke for Hverdagsmennesker at være Skydsskaffer
her paa den Tid. Da Knut Nystuen for endel Aar
siden flk Medajlen for Borgerdaad, var den ledsaget af
Manges Velsignelser, som havde Gamle-Knut og hans
djærve Sønner at takke for, at de ikke bleve liggende
igjen ude paa Vidden, naar Snestormen faldt over dem
i sin Vælde og hvirvlede Snemasserne tykt og tæt
omkring dem.
51. »orguiidg Kirke (i Lærdal). Denne
ærværdige gamle Kirke er den bedst vedligeholdte
Stavekirke i Landet. Den mørke, fantastiske Bygning, med
Dragehoveder paa de talrige Gavlspidser, midt inde
mellem de mørke Fjelde, gjør et eiendommeligt
Indtryk. Den fortjener en nærmere Besigtigelse;
Kirkenøglerne faaes paa den nærligeende Gaard Kirkevold.
Lige ved Siden af den gamle Kirke ligger den nye,
der er bygget i en eiendommelig Stil. en Tillempning
af de gamle Stavekirkeformer til Nutidens Fordringer;
desværre er den lagt saa nær ind til den gamle, at
ingen af dem kommer til sin Ret.
Eidsvold.
Eidsvold er i den nyere Tid bleven navnkundig
ved den konstituerende Rigsforsamling i 1814. der holdtes I
— not to mention the character of the people, — that
the two extremities of the route exhibit the most
striking contrasts. But, to recognize the full force of this,
the journey must be made in summer; then only can
a just idea be formed of the flora, a most important
feature in the character of every landscape. In these
districts, from which we are going to deliver a few
drawings, these peculiar contrasts are the more
apparent, inasmuch as the starting points on either side of
the fjeld display a wider difference than in any similar
locality. The rich and beauteous vale of Christiania,
dodded over with rural seats and smiling hamlets, the
well cultivated tract of Ringerike; Randsfjord and
Valdersdal with their brilliant Alpine scenery, the dark
pine glades of Hallingdal, the wild and majestic, but
desolate scenery of the Fileijeld, and so Lærdal, with
its „Gjögrer and Jutuler", its foaming torrents, and
multiplicity of roads, stretching one above the
other!
4f. Næs in Hallingdal is situated on a plain,
in a lovely and fruitful valley on the broad river Brumma,
and was the appearance of a large village, for this
place is the centre of the valley, has a new church
and District prison, and the residences of many civil
funcionaries. The river from Næs to Gulsvik forms many
small waterfalls, and smaller rapids, which however
often the peasants pass in boats. In Næs good lodgings
may be had.
4«. Aalu churcli, this remarkable old
„Stave"-church is situated in the neighbourhood of the posting
station Sundre. The church, is, in spite of its age,
