Great walks: The Seven Mountains Walk, Bergen - Norway


The Seven Mountains Walk: A organized walk over the mountains that surround the city center of Bergen, Norway. The walk starts below Lyderhorn and then takes you over Damsgårdsfjellet, Løvstakken, Ulriken(the highest) Fløyen, Rundemanen and at last Sandviksfjellet. The walk its 36km long with an elevation gain of 2500m. The walk are too long to be enjoyable and it’s all about challenging yourself. You walk with lots of other people and the atmosphere is great. I used around  9 hours and was walking in a high pace most of the parts. The seven mountain walk its all about pushing yourselves. Its hard but the feeling when you cross the finish line its priceless and worth all the pain:) 

Summary
Distance: 35,00 km
Time: 9:11:38
Elevation Gain: 2500m
Highest Peak: 643 m
