things i want to do in bergen

So I know that I am still 10 days out before the big trip to Norway, but my excitement is growing more and more each day! I have compiled a list of things I want to do/see in Bergen. I am sure the list will grow once I get there and see for myself all the things to do. I hope Karin & I find enough time to do all this and study for boards!



  1. Do this with Karin: http://www.rallarvegen.com/index.php?m=allinclusive&lang=enm=allinclusive&lang=enm=allinclusive&lang=en
  2. Go to Sognefjord
  3. Check out the Bergen fish market & Brygenn (waterfront)
  4. Bergenfest - Music Festival 28 April-3 May
  5. Take the Flaam Railway from Bergen to Oslo.
  6. Visit the many art museums & churches
  7. Go for a bike ride to see the old Leprosy compound, turned museum...right Karin?
  8. Have Elise show us the town!
  9. Take a ride on the Fløibanen funicular railway to Floyen
  10. 17 May: Constitution Day in Bergen: http://www.17-mai.com/
  11. Climb all 7 mountains...on 25 May: the seven mountain walk is 30 kilometers long and a total elevation of 2200 meters.
  • Mount Ulriken
  • Mount Floyen (and eat gelato at the top)
  • Sandviksfjellet
  • Lovstakken
  • Lyderhorn Mountain
  • Damsgaardfjellet

This list is in its prelimary stages, I think more will be added. :)
