Only at one point between Kringelen and Laurgaard a wild and barren district exceedingly savage in its aspect, situated in a narrow gorge of the mountains near the head of the Logen was I solicited for alms. A portion of this route, after passing Sinclair's Monument, is rudely fenced in, so as to render available every foot of the narrow valley.
The road from Laurgaard beyond the pass of the Kringelen ascends a high mountain. On the right is a series of foaming cataracts, and nothing can surpass the rugged grandeur of the view as you reach the highest eminence before descending toward Braendhagen.
