ROMSDAL AMT. 37 



to travel via Christiania, so as not to miss the scenery 

 of the Mosen and of Gudbrandsdal. 



This Amt is intersected by three principal valleys 

 Komsdal, Sundal, and Surendal, named after the rivers 

 flowing through them. 



In the extreme south there are many small rivers, 

 which may be worth trying, as sport is occasionally, 

 though by no means always, to be had in them. And 

 as many of them are not named in the map, I will, 

 as far as I can, supply the omission by mentioning 

 their names. 



And first at VANELVEN, in the extreme south-west 

 of Sondmor, there is a small river, about thirteen miles 

 long. A little to the east of this is BIBKEDALS ELY, 

 falling out into the fjord near Kile, where there is 

 a station. It runs from a lake, and its course is only 

 seven miles. It can easily be reached from Nostad, 

 near Horningdals Yand, which will be mentioned in 

 the following Amt. To the west of this there is a 

 small stream running into the bottom of a fjord. 



In the Hjorrendfjord, to the west of the last-named 

 fjord, there is a likely-looking stream running out 

 at Die, where there is a station. 



All these rivers can be best and most easily reached 

 by the steamer between Bergen and Throndbjern, 

 which stops at Volden. Hjorreufjord can be reached 

 by carriole from this place.
