Gudbrandsdal.
Gudbrandsdalen, som overalt har en udpræget
Fjeldnatur, er rig paa vakre og maleriske Partier, ligesom
her i denne Landsdel findes flere ældgamle historisk
bekjendte Gaarde og Steder. Befolkningen er af en
særegen kraftig og stolt Race, der strængt holder paa
de gamle nedarvede Skikke. Paa de fleste Stationer
er godt, tildels udmærket Kvarter at erholde; da
derhos Veien er flad, fast Chaussé og Befordringen i det
Hele god, maa denne Route vistnok siges at være den,
der er forbundet med mindst Afsavn af
Bekvemmeligheder blandt alle længere Indlandsrouter i Norge.
5$. Purli ved kringlen. Kringlen, der ligger
imellem Skydsskifterne Bredevangen og Moen, var paa
Skottertogets Tid en bråt Kiev med Fjeldvæggen paa
den ene Side og Dybet ned i Laugen paa den anden;
nu er Veien jevn og god. Støtten til Minde om
Angrebet staar lige Veien. Ved Gaarden Vik, i Nærheden
af Stationen Storklevstad, staar en Mindesten over den
skotske Oberst Sinclair, der med et Hjælpekorps for
Svenskerne under Kalmarkrigen 1612 var landet i
Roms-dalen og paa sin Marsch sydover blev angrebet af
Bønderne ved Passet Kringlen og fældet med hele sit
Korps. Paa Stenen læses følgende Inskription: „Her
blev Skotternes Anfører George Sinclair begraven, efter
at han var falden ved Kringelen den 26de August 1612."
Paa selve Gaarden Vik opbevares en hel Del Vaaben
fra Kampen, saasom Kaarder, Pistoler, Haandøxer o.
Lign. Her findes ogsaa en Trætavle med følgende
feet above the level of the sea. The greatest depth
(immediately in front of the Skreibjerget, which towers
aloft to an altitude of 2,000 feet, at the southern
extremity, on the western shore of the lake) has been
found to be 1,440 feet; hence its bottom is a thousand
feet lower than the level of the sea, and several
hundred feet lower than the bottom of the Christianiafjord.
The Mjösen is fed chiefly by the waters of the
Gud-brandslaagen, and its outlet is the Vormen, which
empties into the Glommen. At its greatest breadth
(17.2 mile) is the lovely island of Helgö, with the
beautiful estate of Hovindsholm, formerly the property of a
nobleman. The tracts surrounding the Mjösen, and
particularly the districts of Stange, Vang, Ringsaker,
and Thoten, produce the best corn crops in Norway.
54. The Kailway 35ridge over the lake
MjS-wen (at its confluence with the „Vormen"). This line
of Railway which was opened in 1880, goes from the
Eidsvold Railway Station on the Western bank of the
„Vormen" to „Minnesundwhere by a bridge, 64 feet
high and 1154 feet long, it crosses the „Vormen" to
the Eastern side, this bridge is one of the most
imposing in the whole of Norway; the broadest gerder
for the passage of steamer is 200 feet, is built of iron,
upon stone pillars.
55. Hamar. The town of Hamar was founded
in 1848, on the eastern shore of the Mjösen, and has
now 2,500 inhabitants. Since 1864 it has been an
episcopal residence, and the capital of Hamar Stift. The
ancient city of Hamar, founded in 1152, and made an
episcopal residence for the bishopric established by the
