190 Kil. (11SM.) Rena (735 ft.; Rail. Restaurant), prettily
situated near the church of Aamot, in the vicinity of which are
several inns. Near (204 Kil.) Stenviken (785 ft.) the train crosses
to the E. hank of the Glommen (views to the left). 214 Kil. Ophus
(805 ft.). To the right a precipitous wall of rock. The Glommen
forms several lake-like expansions. 224 Kil. Rasten (840 ft.). Beyond
(237 Kil.) Stai (860 ft.) the mountains enclosing the valley become
higher.
247 Kil. (153M.) Koppang (915 ft.; *Hansen, 200 paces to
the left of the egress from the station; Jernbane Hotel, opposite
the station, R. l1/^, S. VJo kr.; Koppang Hotel; Skyds-Station, in
the village, 10 min. distant), situated on a height above the river
and commanding a good view of the valley. To the \V., rising
above the forests, are several lofty mountains, the tops of which are
carpeted with yellow moss.
The train now runs through the woods, at a considerable height
above the Glommen, and crosses two bridges. Fine views towards
the S. The ground is often completely covered with lichen and
moss. The mountains increase in height, and the valley contracts.
Large masses of ‘Epilobium’, a plant of which the roots and
young shoots are eaten by the Norwegians, are seen here hung up
to dry on hedges and frames. — 262 Kil. Bjeraamesset (1160 ft.).
272 Kil. (169 M.) Atna (1170 ft.), near the mouth of the
Atne-Elv, is the station for several gaards on the opposite bank.
An interesting excursion may be taken hence (comp. p. 122) to the
W. to Solliden and Atnebro (good quarters at the gaards Næsset,
Branden, Uti, and Trøen), near the Atne-Sjø, commanding an imposing view
of the chief peaks of the Rondane: the Rondeslot (7100 ft.), the
Hø-grond (6700 ft.), the Stygfjeld (6730 ft.), and the Rundvashegda (6900 ft.).
These peaks may be ascended from Strømboden in the upper Atnedal,
and through the Langglupdal. (Ola Strømboden, at the Søndre Guard of
Strømboden, is a good guide.) —■ From Strømboden a path leads across
the hills to the Bjernhull-Sceler (good quarters), the Myssu-Sccter, and
through the Uladal to the S. to Moen i Sel in the (tudbrandsdal (p. 124). —
A road leads from Atnebro to Strornbu. Blæsterdalen (to the E. of which
rises the Store Sølen or Døle Sølen, 5800 ft.), and (33 Kil.)
Krokhaug-Foldalen, on the road between Lille-Elvdal and Jerkin (p. 208).
285 Kil. (177 Engl. M.) Hannestad (1250 ft.), opposite which
rises the imposing Grettingbratten (3820 ft.). The train skirts the
river, and then again enters a monotonous wooded district. At
(304 Kil.) Barkald (1485 ft.) the Glommen forms the Barkaldfos.
About l/4 hr. to the E. of Barkald is the curious gorge of
Jutul-hugget, enclosed on every side except the E., and formed,
according to local tradition, by the attempt of a giant to divert the waters
of the Glommen into the Rendal.
324 Kil. (201 M.) Lille-Elvdal (1660 ft.; Rail. Restaurant;
Steien’s Hotel, well spoken of), whence a road ascends the Elvdal
to Jerkin (p. 208). A bridge crosses the Glommen here, and
there is another a little lower down. — The train now skirts
the base of the Tronfjeld (5610 ft.), a lofty mountain consisting
