One of the seven mountains surrounding the city of Bergen (392 masl). Great hiking paths to the top, popular since the turn of the 1900 century. At the top you’ll see a construction showing the wind direction, raised in 1879 by men from Sandviken. The first one raised already in 1835, but the wind broke it in the 1870′s.
Lyderhorn is a mountain in Bergen, Norway. It is one of “De syv fjell”, the seven mountains surrounding the city centre, and the starting location of Bergen Turlag’s annual trip of the mountains. It is located by Liavatnet approximately five kilometers west of the city center. Due to its prominent visibility from the seas, it has historically been a navigational mark for sailors.
Originally the ferries were powered by electricity – and the company running them was called Bergen Electrical Ferrycompany, hence the name BEFfen. Todays Beffen runs on diesel.
