Sngehatten is one of the most celebrated mountain 

 peaks in Norway, and rises from the lowlands of the 

 Dovre-fjeld. Three valleys meet at its base. It was 

 for a long time supposed to be the highest mountain 

 in this country ; then to Skagstol-Tind, in the Horun- 

 gerne-f jeld, was assigned the pre-eminence ; now it is 

 stated, on unquestionable authority, that the Gallo- 

 pigen, in the Horungerne -fjeld, is the highest moun- 

 tain peak in this country. It is 9000 feet above the 

 level of the sea.
