Fløyen
Fløyen or Fløyberg is one of the seven mountains in the Norwegian city of Bergen and its most popular tourist attraction. The mountain plateau lies at an altitude of 399 m , directly above the city center.
The name comes from the wind wing that still exists on the ridge today, which was supposed to indicate the wind direction to ships leaving the protected Bergen harbor, Vågen .
The photogenic view over the peninsula makes the Fløyberg a popular destination for both tourists and locals. There are also many hiking opportunities from there over the plateau to Ulriken .
The Fløibahn is an 850-meter-long electric funicular that pulls two cars back and forth between Fløyen and the city center with three intermediate stations.
