Lyderhorn, Mountain summit in Bergen, Norway

The westernmost of Bergen's seven mountains reaches 396 meters in height and provides views over the city fjord and open sea.

Kvarven Fort, situated near Lyderhorn, served as a military fortification for Bergen's defense from 1899 until its closure in 1961.

During traditional Norwegian celebrations like Midsummer night and Yule, local stories tell of witches gathering at Lyderhorn's summit.

The 3.6-kilometer hiking trail starts in Gravdal, accessible by bus 6 to Lyderhornsveien or bus 44 to Gravdal bus stop.

The summit functions as a starting point for Bergen Turlag's annual mountain hiking event and includes remnants of old torpedo batteries.
