Romsdal

Romsdal, the valley of the impetuous Rauma in central Norway, which reaches the sea half-way between Bergen and Trondhjem. It is celebrated for its magnificent scenery; the mountains rise precipitously to 5000 feet—the Trolltinder or Witch Needles are 5880 feet high—the floor of the valley is strewn in places with gigantic blocks from mountain landslips; and cascades dash 3000 feet down the sides of the mountains.
