Bergen, June 26–30

Excursion on Wednesday

Wednesday afternoon is free. We organize two excursion events. If you want to participate on one of them, please sign up. See below for ticket instructions.

A trip to Troldhaugen, home of composer Edvard Grieg. We depart from Hotel Terminus 11.50, take the city tram, and then a 25 minute pleasant walk. We arrive 12.50 at Troldhaugen, where we attend a concert at 13.00 lasting half an hour. After that we have (a simple) lunch (sandwiches, cakes and ice cream for purchase). You may then see the museum, have a guided tour in his villa, and walk around on the nice premises. There is a short walk down to the sea, where his grave is. Here it is also nice to take a swim if you like (and weather allows). You may stay around as long as you like, the trip back is easy to remember and is not organized.
Boat trip through the inland fjords around the island Osterøy This is a 3-3,5 hour trip. We have lunch at Terminus. At 13.20 we depart from Terminus, walk to the harbor, and the boat departs at 14.00.
You are of course also free to spend the afternoon as you like. For instance take a trip to Mount Fløyen or Mount Ulriken. From there you may also walk or hike inwards to the mountains behind Bergen. To Mount Ulriken there is a cable car, reached by a bus from the town center. To Mount Fløyen you can walk to the Funicular, which takes you to the top. The walk down from Mount Fløyen to the town center is easy and nice. It is also possible to walk from the town center to the top. This takes less than an hour.
