Fløyen, Mountain summit in Bergen, Norway.
Fløyen is a mountain summit about 400 meters above sea level with sweeping views across Bergen and the surrounding landscape. A network of hiking trails and paths winds through the forest and rocky areas, offering different routes for visitors to explore.
A funicular railway called Fløibanen opened in 1918 to carry people from the city up to the summit. This transportation link transformed the mountain into an accessible destination for visitors from Bergen.
The forest is dotted with troll figures that connect visitors to Norwegian folklore and mythological traditions. These sculptures are woven into the wooded landscape and create a sense of stepping into old stories.
A funicular railway reaches the summit in about eight minutes from Bergen's city center with regular departures throughout the day. The trails above vary in difficulty, so visitors should plan according to their fitness level and the weather conditions.
The Cone is an elevated structure nestled among the treetops where visitors can spend a night surrounded by forest. This unusual accommodation offers an experience of sleeping in the mountain environment.
