We have made a recommended route, but you choose what you want to visit, and where you want to bike. When you are satisfied with the city center, you go up to the Ulriken cable car where you stop biking and start hiking. At the top of the Mt. Ulriken (643 MASL), you can decide if you want to do a 1-hour or 3-hour hike. There is a lot of cultural history and a scenic view to take in while hiking in the area around the summit of the highest city mountain in Bergen.

You will also be provided with written information about the places you visit.
