Lilandshaugen

Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:

Distance:
2.6km

My initial plan for the Saturday afternoon had been to travel to Eikelandsosen for a visit of Vetlavardhytto , but due to the recently "improved" bus connection between Bergen and Gjermundshamn (where the earlier direct bus line had been replaced by a three (or thirty-three) minutes transfer at Osøyro), I ended up missing the bus from Osøyro to Eikelandsosen by less than two minutes and quickly had to come up with a plan B. Two minutes later I was therefore on the first bus back to Lagunen. Here I switched to the tram to Flesland and after this long detour I was finally ready for the short walk to the top of Lilandshaugen . Interestingly, Lilandshaugen has to be the Bergen summit with the largest sign, i.e. the infamous "BERGEN?" sign welcoming visitors as they exit the main terminal at Flesland. >>>

I took the bus to Fonnes and from there followed the suggested roundtrip via Vardetangen and Årvika. Overall a very nice hike along either roads with limited traffic or gravel-covered hiking paths. Excellent views along the way and from the westernmost mainland point in Norway . Highly recommended!
