spoken; Raftevold’s Hotel, both good, the latter less expensive, D.
11 /2 kr.3, chsirn’ingly si tuzitcd at the E. end of the Ilornindalsvand,near
the church of Hornindal, which we pass in continuing our journey.
From Hornindal a bridle-path (guide desirable) crosses the Kriven
(2790 ft.?) or (finer) the HjorledaUkar. a little farther to the X. (good view
of the Hornindalsrokken from the height to the rieht of the pass), to
(i-5 hrs.) the skyds-station Kaldvatn, whence we may drive towards the
E. to (12 Kil.) Bjerke on the Jerundfjord (p. 175), or to the W. to (7 Kil.)
Førde on the Ø&tefjord, on which a boat may be taken to (18 Kil.)
Volden (p. 171).
From Grodaas the road ascends the Hornindal, passing several
pleasant gaards, the Denefos, and the entrance to the Hjortdal.
Farther up the valley expands and is bounded on both sides by
snow-clad mountains. On the right rise the Gutekop, the
Seelje-sieterhom (2210 ft.), and the Mulsvorhom (2700 ft.); to the left,
the Brcekeggen (4320 ft.) and Lilledalseggen. Below the
Seelje-sæterhorn opens the Knudsdal.
9 Kil. (pay for 11, but not in the reverse direction) Indre
Haugen, a poor station. The station-master is an intelligent man,
who acts as a guide to the Hornindalsrokken, etc. A carriole may
be hired here for (20 Kil.) Fibelstad-Haugen. — A little farther on
we have a view to the left of the Hornindalsrokken (5015 ft.), an
almost inaccessible-looking peak, rising from a side-valley (ascent
from Haugen in 10 hrs., driving practicable for 2 hrs.). We then
cross the boundary of Sendmere and enter the Romsdalsamt.
6 Kil. Kjelstadli (1390 ft.). Travellers on their way to the N.
do not usually stop here, while those coming in the reverse direction
(from Hellesylt) change horses here and pass Indre Haugen without
stopping.
Beyond Kjelstadli we’enter another grand mountainous region.
To the left opens the valley of Kjelstad, with the gaard of the
same name and several glaciers; to the right the Rerhusdal, with
the pointed Re/rhusnibba. The road descends to 7Vonst«d(1130ft.),
formerly a station, a little to the N. of which, by Tryggestad, opens
the Nebbedal (p. 177). Fine view of the Fibelstadsnibba. The
road descends along the left bank of the Sundals-Elv. the valley of
which soon contracts to a profound ravine. To the left opens the
Mulskreddal. Splendid view of the Sunelvfjord and its mountains.
The road crosses the stream, passes the church of Sunelren, and
reaches —
13 Kil. Hellesylt [Magnussen’s Hotel, Jurgen Tryggestad1 s Inn,
both mediocre, 1!., B., or S. 1,1>. 1 kr.; steamer, see below), with
the church of Sunelven, grandly situated at the head of the
Sunelvs-fjord, an arm of the Storfjord. Avalanches (Sneskred) often fall
here in winter. Jørgen Tryggestad is the tenant of the
Ilelset-1 ’and, 31 2 Epgl. M. distant, which affords good fishing. — Comp,
the Map, p. 1G8.
From Hellesylt a pleasant ‘Excursion (a day there and back) may
be made to tlic Nebhedal and the Noraugsfjord (p. 176), driving to Fibel-
