We will first visit the ruins of Lyse abbey, which is very conveniently accessible by a half hour’s bus ride and a short walk from the center of Bergen. This old monastery is a unique sight in the Bergen area, and an amazing opportunity to take some photos and learn a bit about the history of the area while at the same time venturing a bit outside the city.
Immediately behind the ruins is the start of a trail leading up to Lyshornet. This is a very nice walk through a forest leading up to the top with some beautiful views of the area. There is a bit of ascent involved, but it is not a particularly challenging hike by any means, and we will of course take things slow.
From Lyshornet, we will go back to the trailhead by the monastery, and head back to the bus stop to return to Bergen.
