Finmarkens Amt.
Finmarkens Amt.
idet Skydsfolkene sætte sig ned i dens Bund og bruge
hver sit Par smaa Aarer; ogsaa naar der reises nedad
Elven, bruges Aarer istedetfor Stager; gjennem
Strygene gjælder det da [at styre Baaden med Aarerne;
Roer bruges aldrig.
153. I Bunden af Kloster f jorden udmunder den
anselige og fiskerige Pasvik-Elv, som kommer fra
den store Enare-Sø i Finland og paa næsten sin
hele Længde danner Grændseskillet mellem Norge og
Rusland.
15«. Hos Lensmand Klerk, som bor paa JEI
ve-næs, lige ved Mundingen af Pasvik-Elven, vil man
finde en ligesaa gjæstfri Modtagelse som beredvillig
Assistance for Toure saavel til det russiske Kapel for
Boris og Gleb, som til Jar fjordbunden samt
Grændse-Jacobselv etc., og de dersteds boende norske Familier.
Vardö was one of the most important places in this
part of the country, when the times were
propitious to the prosperity of Finmarken, and the fortress
of H’ard öh il s consequently was built for its
protection. But like all other „Handelssteder" in
Finmarken, Vardö rapidly decayed in the 18th century,
and was long of little importance; as late even as
1825 Vardö and Vardöhus together had but 160
inhabitants. The chief resource of Vardö is the fisheries.
153. Tanaelven. The valley of the Tana is
intersected by the Tanaelv, noted as a salmou stream,
and, after the Glommen, the largest of Norwegian
rivers: the valley is richly wooded, and during the
short northern summer a beautiful locality, though but
thinly inhabited.
153. At the extremity of the Klosterfjord, the
Pagvikelv, a river of importance and a great
„Fiske-vær," empties its waters into the frith; it rises in Lake
Enare, an immerse sheet of water in Finland, and
throughout its whole course almost constitutes the
frontier between Norway and Russia.
150. Lensmand Clerk, who lives at Ehciiæ», at
the mouth of the Pasvik river, will give the traveller
a hospitable reception, and furnish him with every
assistance it in his power to render for further
excursions. The tourist should not fail to make a trip from
Elvenæs to Jar f jordbunden, and visit the Norwegian
families settled there; and to the Russian chapel at
Boris and Gleb.
