SOUTH BERGENHUUS AMT. 55 



extreme end of the Hardanger, is a nice little river. 

 Good sport has often been had here. This place is 

 within easy distance of the magnificent Voring Foss, 

 and the scenery in the neighbourhood is of that savage 

 grandeur which can rarely, if ever, be seen in any other 

 parts of Europe (vide Murray, p. 169). At Ulvik, 

 where the steamer also stops, a little to the north of 

 Vik, and at Ose, between the two named places, 

 the rivers may be tried. 



Proceeding down the fjord again in the direction of 

 Bergen, there are one or two small rivers which may 

 perhaps at times afford sport, e.g., at Strand vik, 

 Haalandsdal. A small river running out at Samnanger, 

 a few miles east of Bergen, in a branch of the Strande 

 Fjord, may also be tried. 



In BEEGSDAL ELY, a few miles to the north of 

 Bergen, salmon-fishing may occasionally be had. 



The VOSSE ELV is a remarkably fine stream. It 

 consists of two arms, one rising near Opheim, and the 

 other near Lange Lake. These meet at Vossevangen, 

 near the church, and pass through "Vangs Vand, and 

 Evanger Vand. Capital salmon-fishing may be had at 

 Bolstadoren. This latter is a good station, and the 

 river has been much fished by Englishmen. Whether 

 it is leased now I do not know ; when I was there five 

 summers ago it was open. Salmon of a large size may 

 be taken, and the trout-fishing is first rate.
