Do you want a challenge. This is one of the most commonly walked hikes for exercise in Bergen. Consisting of almost one thousand steps it is a steep ascent that will get your blood flowing. Every year a mountain race is held up the steps, and the time to beat is 7 minutes and 58 seconds. The top offers incredible views, and once at the top you can swim in a freshwater lake or walk around the mountain and visit mount "Fløyen".
