III. PLAN OF TOUR. xv
mere, Molde, and Romsdal. The Jotunheim, to the E. of the Sogne¬
fjord, is recomménded to the attention of mountaineers. The voyage
to the Norrland, the chief attraction of which is the Lofoten Is-
lands, is -also very fine. The beautiful town.of- Christiania is well
worthy of a visit.
In the S. of Sweden the chief attractions are Stockholm and
the other towns and the great Canals. The Swedish Norrland is
inferior tó that of Norway in point of grandeur of scenery, but its
beautiful coasts, oits lakes and rivers, including the justly famed
Indals-Elf and Angerman-Elf, and its waterfalls, among which are
the largest in Europe, richly repay a visit. Gellivara, with its mid-
night sun and iron-mines, is also very interesting. Not the least
charm of the Norrland journey is its freedom from the usuai crowd
of hurried tourists.
