TELEMARK

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 542 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
TELEMARK , or TIIELEMARte, a
district
  of southern Norway, wholly comprised in the amt (county) of Bratsberg. It covers the uplands and fjelds of the southward projection of the country, having its highest point in the Gaustafjeld (6200 ft.); and contains several large and beautiful lakes, as NordsjO, Bandaksvand, Tinsjo, Mjosvand and Totakvand. The two
first are connected by the Bandaks canal, a fine engineering
work
  giving access from the port of Skien to Dalen at the head of Bandaksvand. From Dalen, which may be reached by road from the railway at
Kongsberg
  (38 miles) a
driving
  road much frequented by travellers runs north-west. It traverses a precipitous wooded gorge, its course in parts hewn out of the
rock
 , and skirts the Borte and Grungedal lakes, follows the Flaathyl river, passes the Vafos and Little Rjukanfos (waterfalls), and Lake Voxli, and culminates at Haukelidsaeter, a station grandly situated among the fjelds at a height of 3085 ft. It rises to the watershed (3715 ft.) and then, leaving the
district
 , descends abruptly with a remarkable winding course to Roldal (58 miles from Dalen), and soon divides, one branch surmoupting the Horrebraekke pass and continuing to Odde, the other traversing the beautiful Bratlandsdal. On the
Kongsberg
 -Dalen road is Hitterdal, with a good specimen of the Stavekirke or medieval timber-built
church
 . A divergence from this route may be made by way of Tinsjo to Fosso, where the Maan river forms a fine fall (Rjukanfos) of 415 ft.
