næst paa Sydsiden af Elven, lige indunder den
mægtige Fos, som midt i det mørke, af lodrette Fjeldsider
lukkede Slug styrter ned i et Fald af over 400 Fod.
Turister, der benytte denne Vei, have, enten de ere
Medlemmer af Turistforeningen eller ikke, at betale
en Afgift af 80 Øre pro persona; for Førere erlægges
ingen Betaling. Afgiften erlægges hos Landhandler
Næsheim i Vik. Vil man se Fossen ovenfra, stiger
man paa 1 Time ret op den bratte Sti til Gaarden
Høi (2,120 Fod), der ligger lige ved Stupet, hvor
Fossen styrter ned. Ved Høi har Turistforeningen
anskaffet en Baad til at sætte over Elven i. Fra, Vik
til Vøringfossen og tilbage igjen bruges 10—12 Timer.
Tilbageveien kan lægges nedover de bratte
Maa-bøgalder. Baadskyds over Eidfjordvandet samt Fører

Vik efter en fast Taxt.
fl©5. UllenHvaiig er et af Hardangers skjønneste
Steder, med rig Vegetation, vakkre Fosser og
henrivende Udsigter. Strax ovenfor Lofthus har man den
bedste Udsigt ind over den maleriske Fjord med
Folgefonnen i Baggrunden; fra „Brurestolen", en
Fjeld-knat et kort Stykke indenfor Kirken, som er en gammel
Stenkirke uden Taarn, ligesom i Kinservik, har man
en smuk Udsigt udover Fjorden til Oksen; lige foran,
paa hin Side Fjorden, ligger den bratte Aganuten
(4,500 Fod høi). Oppe i Lierne ovenfor Lofthus er
den»vakkre Opedalsbygd med en tæt Klynge af Gaarde.
Ovenfor Ullensvang har man to vakkre Fosser: i Syd
Skrikj o fossen, der med liden Vandmasse, men med et
lodret Fald af 500 Fod, styrter sig ned fra en Høide
absolute feature in the character of the landscape.
Boat- and „Jægte"-building are also a sourse, of income
to the inhabitants. (Hardanger boats find their way
far along the coast, being highly prized for their
seagoing qualities). Hardanger, too, is known for its „01",
a kind of heady malt-liquor. As regards the
population, Hardanger may be divided into two regions: the
outer of these, as far as Strandebarm, is peopled by
the same race as Söndhordland, viz. the Söringer, as
they are called; the true Haring type is not met with
farther out than Jondal and Vikör, Sörfjord being the
locality where it is most marked. The Haringer are
a fine and noble race, quiet, discreet, and self-reliant,
with something commanding in their deportment, men
and women alike, and with a soft and sonorous speech.
The costume of the females is exceedingly becoming;
married women bear a peculiar white head-dress, called
„Skout". The peasantry in Hardanger are generally a
well-to-do class of people; they are distinguished, too,
by order and cleanliness.
The Hardangerfjord is navigated" by two
comparatively large steamers, offering superior accomodation
to tourists, — one from Bergen (twice a week), and
one from Stavanger, (once a week). Inns and small
hostelries are found in most places: the entertainment
is good end the prices moderate.
