where it is joined by the YIXGDALS ELV, there is 

 excellent fishing to be had. I cannot say what part 

 of this river is taken up. The trout-fishing in this 

 river and its tributaries is well spoken of. The road 

 to Christiansund runs through Surendal, so that fair 

 accommodation can be had on the route. 



The BJEVRA ELV, a little to the north of Surendal 

 Elv, is a likely-looking stream. It is about eleven 

 miles long. There are also some smaller rivers 

 running into the Vinje Fjord, in the extreme north 

 of this Amt, of which the FJELNA ELV is the most 

 likely. 



From Vinje there is a direct road to Throndhjem, 

 through Orkedal, from which it is distant about thirty 

 miles. 



Reindeer shooting may be had on the eastern fjelds 

 in Sondmor Fogderie, in the extreme south of this 

 Amt, called Lang Fjelds ; and indeed all the terrain 

 between Sunelven Fjord and Hjorrenfjord will well 

 repay a visit. For those who purpose hunting in this 

 district, Herdal will be found a good place for head- 

 quarters. The fjelds also between this and Xordals 

 Fjord are said to be very good. Eyper and black game 

 are abundant, and ptarmigan are always found on the 

 heights. Red deer may be found on the islands Sulo, 

 Hareidsland, and Gursko. Larsnaes, on this latter 

 island, is a stopping-place for the steamers to the north.
