Its shores are bare and monotonous, and only dotted here and there with woods or low hills; the distant view even is not at all noteworthy.

One of the finest views is the tolerably large castle of Leko, which lies on a rock, and is surrounded by fertile groves.
Further off rises the Kinne Kulle, {51} to which the traveller's attention is directed, because it is said to afford an extended view, not only over the lake, but far into the country.

A curious grotto is said to exist in this hill; but unfortunately one loses these sights since the establishment of steamers, for we fly past every object of interest, and the longest journey will soon be described in a few words.
A large glass-factory is established at Bromoe, which fabricates window-glass exclusively.

We stopped a short time, and took a considerable cargo of the brittle material on board.
The factory and the little dwellings attached to it are prettily situated on the undulating ground.
Near Sjotorp we entered the river again through several locks.

The passage of the Wennersee is calculated at about ten or eleven hours.
The river at first winds through woods; and while the ship slowly passes through the locks, it is pleasanter to walk a portion of the distance in their shade.
