 The original proposal for routing the Bergen Line had it passing through "Geiteryggen"; if these plans had been carried out the railway tracks would have followed this trace to "Hallingskeid".Down the long valley, descending from the open mountain highland at "Geiteryggen" (1,232 m in elevation) the landscape becomes gradually more broken.At "Stemberdalen", (also called "Steinbergdalen, Stemmerdalen, Stodmerrdalen") at about 1100 m in elevation, the valley is wide and open with gradual mountains slopes and open areas covered with farm places.
