ROMSDAL

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 688 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
ROMSDAL , the valley of the river Rauma, in
Norway
 . The Rauma is a torrent descending from Lake Lesjekogen to the Romsdal Fjord on the west
coast
  (62 30' N.). The nearest
port
  is
Molde
 , from which steamers run to Veblungsnaes (30 m.) at the foot of the valley. A good road traverses the valley, which is one of the finest in southern
Norway
 , flanked by steep mountains terminating in abrupt peaksVengetinder (5960 ft.), Romsdalshorn (5105), Troldtinder ("
witch
 -peaks," 6oio) and others. Several waterfalls are seen, such as the Mongefos, the Vaermofos, falling nearly l000 ft., and the Slettafos. Lake Lesjekogen also drains from the opposite end by the Laagen or Lougen river to the Glommen, and so to the
Skagerrack
 , and the road follows its valley, the
Gudbrandsdal
 . The Romsdal gives ils name to an amt (county) extending from the promontory of Stadt in the
south
  to Ram Fjord in the
north
 , including the Stor,
Molde
 , Halse and their
branch
  fjords, the ports of Aalesund, Molde and Christiansund, and reaching inland to the Dovrefjeld.
