At the Lagunen bybane station

We will meet at the Lagunen bybane station and make a round trip to the local Stendafjellet mountain. The walk up to the trail itself is along the road, after which we will encounter some actual hiking paths.

The weather looks like it might be a bit rainy, which should not be an issue since this is a fairly easy hike and a big portion of the route goes along roads and gravel paths. For the final part of the route leading up to the viewpoint, it might be a good idea to bring have waterproof shoes on you in case the trail is a bit wet.

In front of Rema 1000 Haukelandsveien

We will meet in front of Rema 1000 Haukelandsveien (easily accessible by taking line 2 of the bybane to the stop Haukeland sjukehus, or by walking from the center of town) and will walk to the dam at Svartediket. From there, we will along the shore of the lake and will then take a trail leading up to Rundemannen, from where we will proceed down to Fløyen and back to the city center. The plan is to walk down, but it is possible to take the funicular down to the city center from the top of Fløyen.

This is a rather nice walk close to the city center that provides a slightly different approach to Rundemannen and Fløyen and, most importantly, does not require taking any busses or other public transit (which is somewhat less frequent on Sundays anyway).

You might want to take waterproof clothes and shoes just in case, and it might also be a good idea to pack some light lunch.

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.
