If you have time for a short day trip Ole Bulls villa is situated on an island with very nice walking paths. Book a tour of the villa or go for a walk in the composer's gardens and nature paths.Good gravel paths. This is a very nice and peaceful place.Check with tourist information as you need a bus ride and a short boat shuttle. I guess there are tours in the summer season. If you have a car - park at Buene Kai. Check boat routes from Buene Kai in advance. Open 18 May to 31 .August

The highest mountain around Bergen city (643m)Take the cable car(NOK 160 round trip)or walk to the top. Wear good hiking boots as it is quite a steep uphill path if you choose to walk. To get to the lower station for the cable car either take the double-decker shuttle bus (from 1.may) or take public bus no 2 or 3 from city centre to stop "Haukeland Nord" and follow the signs up the hill to the lower station. You can also walk from here. An alternative if you choose to walk is bus 12 to stop "Montana" and follow the signs. For bus routes use Skyss.no. In 2018 they also made a path with stairs all the way to the top- easily reached from Montana

This is a hiking trip between Fløyen and Ulriken for about 4-5 hours. Wear good clothes/hiking boots. Do not hike in bad weather or fog, as even local people tend to get lost in the fog.(I prefer to go from Ulriken to Fløyen and start with the cable car, but both ways are possible. Great views.

A very hard but short popular hike from Fjellveien up Stoltzekleiven. The more you climb the better views. About 20-25 minutes to the top at a modest pace. (The record is 8 minutes !!) People do not like that you go down the same way because it is quite narrow, but it is possible. Best to continue to mount Fløyen or to follow signs to "Skredderdalen" to walk down. From the top of Stoltzekleiven continue straight ahead until you come to a lake. Then go right and follow the signs.
