At 643 metres above
sea level.
Ulriken is the highest of the “classic” seven mountains surrounding
the city of Bergen.
The name probably
derives from the Norse ‘Alrek’, which means ‘towering’. The sides of the mountain are steep, but from the
summit there is excellent walking terrain to the north, south and east. From the top, there are panoramic views over the city
and its surrounding area.
The first walk to
Ulriken was made in 1853 and included, among others, theatre director Henrik
Ibsen, who wrote ‘Vi vandrer med freidig mot’ for the occasion.
