harbour is protected by a breakwater. The church and gymnasium
are situated in Aspe. The Lihaugen. in the middle of the town,
and the Anlesundsaxelen (460 ft.), a hill surmounted with a vane
(‘Fleie’) and the reservoir of the town water-works, command fine
view s of the Jeuundfjord mountains. —A walk may be taken to the
E. to the church of Borgund. In the vicinity is the old castle of
llrolf Gnngr, the ancient conqueror of Normandy. — A good road
leads from Aalesund to Vestnces on the Romsdalsfjord via Sjøholt
(comp. p. 188). To the Jerundfjord and Hellesylt, see R. 20.
Owing to the number of steamboats that touch here, Aalesund offers
numerous opportunities for making excursions to the fjords. Besides the
larger coasting vessels, steamboats start from Aalesund (comp.
Commnni-cutioner, No. 260) —
a. Twice weekly via Molde (p. 104) and Vestnces (p. 189) to
Veblungs-nas, Mas, and Sten (p. 197), in 11 hrs.
b. Thrice weekly viå Aure (p. 188), Langskibse, Sjeholl (p. 188), Hove
(Stordalen), Slyngstad (Stranden), Sylte (p. 1K7), Kellvig, and Ytredal (p. 187)
to Hellesylt (going on once weekly to Ma-raak, p. 186).
c. Once weekly via ftrstenvik (p. 175), Volden (p. 171), and Eidsaa
(p. 170) to Aahjem (p. 170) in 12 hrs.
d. Once weekly viå ørsienvik, Lekanger, and Larsntes to Eidsaa on
the 8øvdefjord (p. 170).
Beyond Aalesund the steamer passes the island of Lepse (left),
where Miss Mouat, who was driven across the sea from the
Shetland Islands in a boat alone in 1886, reached land and was rescued.
It touches at Østnces (on the Harhamse; view of the mountains on
the mainland), Hildre, Drenen (on the Miefjordj, and Gjelsten (on
the Tomrefjord), and, 51/2 hrs. after leaving Aalesund, reaches —
66 Kil. (41 Engl. M.) Molde, (see p. 194).
Beyond Molde the steamer at first steers towards the Mr., then
turns to the N. and enters the Julsund. The islands of Ottere
and G or sen are passed on the left, the Julaxlen (1810 ft.), and
later the wedge-shaped Gjendemsfjeld (2080 ft.) on the right. The
first station is Bud or Bod, which is also connected with Molde by
a local steamboat (comp. Communicationer, No. 262, ‘Udensunds")
and by a good road. On the left lies the island of Onn, with a
signal-light. The promontory of Stemshesten (2230 ft.) , the S.
boundary of the Nordmøre, now comes into sight, beyond the
Bod-fjeld. and a little later we see the lofty Tustere (2920 ft.; p. 174),
to the N. of Christianssund. The sea here is as rough as at the Stadt.
"We then pass the small Fuglen (‘Bird Island’), with a signal, on
the left, and on the right observe several gaards at the base of
Stemshesten (Stemme. Hanæs, etc.), which have regular
steamboat-communication with Christianssund (see below). Fine view of the
snow-mountains of the Roinsdul. The steamer next passes the
signal-stations of Kvidholmsfyr and Hestskjcersfyr (white building),
and then steers between the Kirkeland and the Inland to —
81 Kil. (öO1/^ Engl. M.) Christianssund. — Møllerop’s Hotel,
R. 1 kr. 25, D. 1 kr. 20 0.; O. Tp.oxess’s Hotel, small but good, tbe
landlady speaks English, German, and French. — Telegraph Station.
