NAV., skirting the Staavand. After about 10 min. we have a
glimpse of the Storefcnd to the right, while (4 hr. farther on, to
the left, is a ruined bridge, over which the old bridle-path led.
About M. from llaukeli, we cross the Ulevaa-Ett>, which
descends from the X. and forms the boundary between the districts of
Bratsberg and Søndre Bergenhus; to the right it makes some low
but very broad cascades. In 1 M. more we reach the Eleoaarand
[3095 ft.; 2 31. long), to the left, along the X. bank of which our
route ascends. The solitary Fjeld scenery is seen here to full
advantage. To the right we have a fine view of the precipitous Store
Nup and the Storefond, and to the left is the Sveien; in front rises
the Stafsnuten, to the right of which are the Rekkingsnuten and the
Midtdyrrnstene.
After a drive of 1-11 4 hr. (S1/) 31.) from Haukeli, we cross a
bridge over the Midtdyr-Elv and turn to the S. The road here reaches
the foot of the Dyrnut, the E. part of the Stafsnut, and begins to
ascend thepassofDyreskard, the highest point of which (3715 ft.;
watershed) is attained in 1 2 hr. more. To the left is a ‘YarJe’, erected
by King Oscar II. 3Ve now proceed to the W. through a barren
district of snow and stones, sometimes on a level and sometimes
descending slightly. To the right is Stafsnuten, to the left Sveien
and the narrow green Øisieinvand. To the left, below the road,
91/2 31. from Haukeli, lies the Midtlitger-Sctter, and 5 min. farther
on, adjoining the road, is the Nye Midtlæger-Sæter (milk and
bread). About 10 min. later the three houses of Soaldatsflaaene
and a row of small lakes appear below us to the left; in 10 min.
more we reach the hill of Staven and in 5 min. more begin to
descend. To the right, below, lies the Tarjebudal. with the saeters of
Tarjebudal and Xya Støl; to the W., in front of us, is the
Horre-hei. In 10 min. more we cross the Risbubro to the right bank of
the Risbu-Aa and then descend rapidly in violent curves. Near
(10 min.) the Østmanlid Setter, we have a fine *Glirupse of the
Reldalsvand. Walkers can effect a considerable saving here by
short-cuts. The scenery improves. In 20 min. more we cross the
Vasdalselv and follow its right bank. Straight in front of us is the
Novle-Vos, the nearest point of the road to which is reached 10 min.
later. In 5 min. more the Reldalsvand again comes into sight,
backed by the Ilolmenuten and Reldalsaaten. A drive of 12 min.
more brings us to —
30 Kil. Gryting i Røldal (see p. 49). — The road descends in
windings. From the top of the *Gorsvingane we have a splendid
view of the Gorsbotn and the vast snow-fields of the Folgefond
(comp. p. 55).
23 Kil. Seljestad and —
26 Kil. Odde, see p. 65-67.
