I went hiking on mount Ulriken in Bergen with my son Bror this afternoon. We had a really enjoyable trip, and weather was fairly nice most of the time, though we also had a shower of rain as we were heading back towards our new Bergen apartment. We climbed the mountain using a track just beneath the cable car that ascends the mountain. The lower part of the track goes through forest, and the upper part goes on bare mountain, with heather and moss as the only vegetation. We hiked up to the viewpoint where even the cable car takes the tourists. This isn't actually the highest point of this mountain massif, nor is it even the highest point of the part of the mountain that is known as Mount Ulriken, but it is the best viewpoint for an overview of the city, and it is the point that looks like it is the summit of the mountain when you look at the mountain from the city center of Bergen. For the descent we used another, slightly longer, but not so steep route.
