Ulriken

Bergen is famous for Bryggen, and it's 7 town hills.

Bryggen was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, by Criterion (iii): Bryggen bears the traces of social organization and illustrates the use of space in a quarter of Hanseatic merchants that dates back to the 14th century. It is a type of northern “fondaco”, unequalled in the world, where the structures have remained within the cityscape and perpetuate the memory of one of the oldest large trading ports of Northern Europe.


You can guess which I explored first.

We ran from friend L's flat to the base of Ulriken, which we then climbed, criss crossing a ludicrously steep downhill mtb track a few times. From here there's a flat/ gently down hill run around to Fløyen, a classic route for tourists and locals alike.

Blessed with perfect weather
