Abstract

Aas, B. 1970. Jutulhogget, canyon and refuge. Norsk geogr. Tidsskr. 24, 59-81. Jutulhogget is a big canyon in northern Hedmark, cut down by water from an ice-dammed lake in Osterdalen flowing over the mountain ridge east of Barkald into Tylldal. In this canyon vigorous elms (Ulmus glabra) occur in three neighbouring localities. The upper parts of the screes on the steep south-facing side of the canyon nourish a rich and varied flora. The south-exposed screes with good light conditions, are thermally favoured, and soil and water conditions are suitable The elm trees and also several thermophilous herbs, rare elsewhere in the northern part of Osterdalen, must be relicts from the Post-glacial warm period. Jutulhogget is a preserve.
