Soak up the beauty of Bergen from the summit of Mount Floien and hike through the breath-taking wilderness along the mountaintop. Begin with a stroll past the old merchant buildings of Bryggen, the oldest section of town dating back to the Hanseatic era. At the base of Mount Floien, board the funicular for a 5-minute ride some 1,000 feet to top. Gaze out at the port city and its busy harbor. Then embark on a guided hike through the mountain woodlands to the idyllic setting of Lake Skomakerdiket. Continue uphill to a scenic point overlooking the sur-rounding fjords and the multitude of islands dotting the cobalt blue waters. If conditions warrant, continue further along the backwoods trails to Rundemanan. At 1,800 feet above sea level, the views here cannot be topped. Take it all in, before the leisurely downhill hike back to the funicular. BN35
