When born here, Norway mountains Norwegian nature is planted deep in our soul. I have spent many summers at Tokleskaret going to sleep at night by the non-stop lullaby of the dancing waterfalls. The laughing brooks and the loudly humming river is "nature's orchestrated melodies of the mountain king". In "the olden days" farmers (bonder) employed ladies (budeier/seterjenter) to care for the cows, which were kept in the mountains during the summer. Budeia lived in the farmer's mountain cabins (setra). In some places of the country, this form of farming tradition still goes on.
The grass in the mountains is especially rich and nutritious so the cows would give extra rich and delicious milk. The dairy products were carried down to the farm. Painting by Gerhard Munthe,
