Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Dublin Review, Vol. 46: March and June, 1859 Norway has of late years become a favourite resort of the English tourist, and bids fair to be the Switzerland of the North. Though her mountains are generally less peaked, her glaciers are little inferior in size to those of Chamounix, or of the Bernese Oberland, while her fields of perpetual snow are more extensive and far less explored. In the essential feature of waterfalls she is immeasurably superior to Switzerland or the Tyrol; the falls of the Handek, or the Giessbach, would be passed by almost unnoticed in a Norwegian "Dal." In Switzerland the valleys are widely scooped out, and the mountain sides sweep grandly down to the plains, while defiles are rarely to be met with, and absolute precipices seldom overhang the path of the traveller. In Norway the whole country consists, not of ridges separated by valleys, but of one vast mountain plateau, rising from three to five thousand feet above the level of the sea, and it is only occasionally that the extreme height of 8000 feet is attained by a few isolated peaks.
