Images from this evening hike to Lyderhorn. The blue line on the map shows the bicycle track from my Bergen apartment to where I left the bike and started hiking. The red line is the hiking up to the summit of the mountain. The kilometres given is the distance back and forth.
On this beautiful day in the month of May I had a splendid afternoon/evening trip up to the summit of mount Lyderhorn just west of the city of Bergen. I went by bicycle as far up as possible, to an altitude of about 212 meters above sea level (blue line on the image above); where I locked the bike to a fence and continued on foot (red line on the image). There is actually a narrow, but nice road up to a military installation at this altitude, quite nice for bicycling. A forest track then leads a few metres ahead to an escarpment, where some nice stairs have been built, that'll take you down to a lake or a pond called Skåleviksvatnet. From there a mountain track leads right to the summit of the mountain. The summit is located at an elevation of 396 meters. Had wonderful weather conditions, and there was a stunning view from the peak of the mountain.
