ROMSDAL AMT, oo 
explored the valley of Orkedal to the source of the 
river, for the express purpose of investigating the 
shooting, and that he is of opinion that good general 
sport may be had in it. ‘“‘Several points,” he adds, 
“might be named as head-quarters. I think Kalstad 
might be as good as any, which, though not so good 
a station as Gumdal, is better situated for sport. At 
Haarstad, a small but pretty comfortable station, we 
were told that at Neerskoven. seven miles distant, 
there was excellent ryper-shooting, and a Szter close 
by. Lower down the valley hares were said to be 
very plentiful, but we could not find any; perhaps 
because we had no “hare-hunde.” Neverdalen * 
would, I have no doubt, be a very good point, and 
the station is tolerably comfortable. The trout-fishing 
ought to be particularly good there, and the river is 
close to the station-house.” 
The steamers to the north stop at Hayn Hitteren. 
I forget what the average of bears is for this Amt, but 
in 1860 thirteen were killed; in 1859, nine; in 1858, 
five ; in 1857, six; in 1856, fifteen.

This Amt is, I should say, held in higher estimation, 
both by tourist and sportsman, than any in Norway. 
Abounding in beautiful scenery of a varied nature, 
* Neverdalen is, however, over the border, in Hedemarken Amt.
