72 SPORT IN NORWAY. 



fair fishing can be had on the Drammen river. From 

 this place skyts should be taken to Tingelstad, on the 

 Eggedal river, which may be fished up to Medalen. 

 The road runs by it all the way. Good trout-fishing 

 may be had in the Logen river, already spoken of, all 

 the way up to Opdal : the road runs by it to this place. 

 And further up this river the fishing is good, but 

 the accommodation very inferior. The north-western 

 part of this Amt, owing to its inaccessibility, is but 

 little known to the fisherman ; but should dirt, fleas, 

 and poor fare not prove insuperable impediments, there 

 is little question but that capital sport may be found. 



In the southern part of this Amt the shooting is 

 poor ; but both in Hallingdal and Nummedal excellent 

 ryper-shooting may be had. Opdal will be found a 

 tolerable and convenient station as head-quarters. 



In the north and north-western parts reindeer are 

 numerous, especially on Keensfjeld, Hemsedals Fjeld; 

 in the extreme north, Nystols Fjeld and Halling- 

 skarven. 



Elk are rare. Bears, principally in the northern 

 districts, are not uncommon. The average number 

 killed is 14}. In 1860, however, 23 bears were 

 killed in this Amt.
