54 SPORT IN NORWAY. 



About half-way up the Hardanger Fjord at Vikor. on 

 the northern shore, there is a small river, the STEINDALS 

 ELV. As the steamer from Bergen, from which it is 

 about fifteen hours, stops at Ostensjo, a few miles to 

 the north, it might be tried. 



Here is the magnificent Ostud Foss, a waterfall of 

 about 700 feet in height (vide Murray's ' Handbook,' 

 p. 170).

 Fjord, some fishing may at times be had near Kin-

 Utne, at the mouth of this fjord, whence boat-skyts can

 river which may hold salmon. This place may be 

 reached in thirty hours from Bergen by the steamer. 



The Folge Fond is in the immediate neighbourhood. 

 The SKJEGGEDALS ELV, running out at Tyssedal, a very- 

 few miles higher up, is a nice little stream.
