comp. p. 173). To the right we enjoy a view of the island of Boise
with its high-lying church, and of the headland of Dvergsnæs.
9 Kil. Strande, at the mouth of the Fnnefjord, along which
the road now leads (see p. 199). We, however, proceed by
rowing-boat, which we may either take only to the gaards of —
3 Kil. Dvergsnæs or Dversnæs, on the opposite bank of the
Fane-fjord (walking thence to Sølsnæs), or for the whole way to Alfarnæs.
The road leading to the S. along the coast from Dvergsnæs is
very hilly (‘bakket’), so that we must often alight and walk. Fine
view of the Troldtinder (jg. 200); in the foreground is the Havnevik.
and to the right the Yeø (‘holy island’), with a church.
11 Kil. (pay in the reverse direction for 16) Sølsnæs commands
a fine view of the Langfjord to the E. and the liomsdalsfjord to
the S., with the islands of Yeø, Sækken (p. 203), and the
peculiarly shaped Hcstholmen. — We next cross the Langfjord in a
rowing-boat to —
4 Kil. Alfarnæs, a steamboat-station (see p. 203) in a
charming situation.
The next part of the road, extending to the S. along the shore
of the Rødvenfjord, is the most beautiful of the whole route. The
country is well cultivated and studded with gaards. Opposite we
have a view of the church of Eid (p. 197) and of the Oxen (p. 197).
In the distance are the Troldstolene (p. 197). At the gaard of
Læreim the road to Nordvik turns off to the right, w’hile that to
Thorvik ascends in a straight direction. Suddenly there bursts
upon the traveller a splendid view of the Gjersætvatn, a lake with
a wooded island, occupying the centre of a wooded amphitheatre
resembling the crater of an extint volcano. Beyond the lake rises
the Skolten (3440 ft.), with the waterfall of Skjolen. To the left
of the last rise the massive Vengetinder (p. 197), to the right the
Troldtinder, the Isterfjeldene, and the mountains on the Indfjord.
lienee to Thorvik (see below) in 1 hr. The road next descends
along the N. side of the valley, ascends again through a
narrow-pass, and, skirting the hill of Klungences on the right, leads
through pine-woods to —
14 Kil. Thorvik. The station, where we order the boat, lies
at a considerable height above the fjord, but we can drive right
down to the beach.
From Thorvik we proceed by boat (one rower generally enough;
53 o.) to Veblungsnæs (4 Kil.) or to .Vers. 2 Kil. farther (p. 199).
c. From Veblungsnæs or Næs to the Romsdal.
The fine route from tlie Gudbrandsdal to the Moldefjord, described
in R. 15, leads through the Romsdal. Veblungsnæs is 48 Kil. (30 Engl. M.)
from Stuefloten, at the W. end of the Gudbrandsdal. Those who do not
wish to proceed farther to the E. and who are not going via Domaas to
Throndhjem (R. 27) may turn at (27 Kil.) Flatmark or even at (16 Kil.)
Ormeim. In the latter ease even the pedestrian may make the exenrsion
in one day from Veblungsiues. Ihe stations are all fast. Diligence, see p. 91.
