The sea serpent of Krøderen
0
The train is now chugging fearlessly past the beautiful Krøderen Lake which is in Krødsherad municipality. The lake is renowned across Europe for its excellent pike fishing and every year sports fisherman from many countries come to try their luck in catching a pike. These fresh water fish are found over the whole of the Northern hemisphere and can weigh in at around 20kgs, in fact in Bulgaria and Germany pike over 25kgs have been caught. In 1854 there was a big commotion in the villages around Krøderen when a local farmer discovered a sea serpent. The head was as big as a small house, the eyes as big as dinner plates and it roared like a cow. The farmer ran into the barn to get his gun but when he can out again the sea serpent had mysteriously disappeared. Whether it was a sea serpent or an overgrown pike remains to be seen, but do let the conductor know if you see something suspicious.
