Bergen along the 3rd stage Birkelandsfjellet

The anniversary trail 'Bergen along the way' was created in connection with Bergen's 950th anniversary.

It runs from Krokeide in the south to Salhus in the north. Approx. 55 km and 2500 meters of ascent. The trip is divided into 8 stages.

This is perhaps the easiest section of Bergen along the way. From Valle over Birkelandsfjellet to Myrdalsvannet.

The walk starts along Osveien. You will see a 'Bergen på langs' sign right by the bus stop. Walk approx. 50 meters on the sidewalk and up the hill to the right where the sign 'Jubileumsstien' is. Follow the road to the top and turn right onto the path. It is a steep climb at the beginning. Follow the path through the forest. It is marked the whole way with 'Bergen på langs' posts.

It is wet in some places so please wear shoes that go above the ankle. Follow the path through the forest and out into an open area where it crosses under high voltage pylons. Now it starts to go downhill and you come out into a logging area. Here there is a nice view and the path turns into a road.

Følg veien gjennom boligfeltet i Bjøllebotn og ned i Totlandsveien.  Gå videre til venstre og følg veien til turparkeringen ved Myrdalsvannet. Her er det slutt på etappe 3.

Have a good trip!
