Jotunheim

Jotunheimen is a high mountain country between Sogn, Valdres and Gudbrandsdalen, with glaciers and deep lakes. At Gjende and Russvatnet, traces of ancient dwellings accompany reindeer pits and hunting hides. Cairns mark an old route across Sognefjellet between Lom and Luster. In the early eighteenth century, farms in Bøverdalen sent cattle to summer pastures at Gjendebu, taking them through the Visdalen, Urdadalen and Storådalen valleys.
