Jordal - Ulskebjørnen - Vikinghytten

One of the most scenic routes int the Bergen mountains. The route starts just a couple of kilometers from the busy highway E39. Part of the route is rather steep but should not not be too difficult to walk if you bring good shoes.
In the beginning you cross a field first on a small road and then across the field until you reach a pine plantation. Be sure to keep left across the field. After approx 1 km you reach beautiful Stallane old farmhouse with its characteristic stoned gable wall. Cross the field in front of the buildings and pass through the field gate. Immediately after the gate turn 90 degrees right across the rather steep field - and here the fun begins. During the next 1,5 km you will climb 250 meters until you reach the cairn on top of mountain Ulskebjørnen. Make sure to stop and enjoy the view from the many viewpoints while you climb. The view from the top is also magnificent.
After Ulksebjørnen the path continues towards north-east until you reach a small signpost. Turn left at the signpost and follow the path until you reach the main path along the mountain ridge. Make a sharp right turn here and follow this path until Vikinghytten (590 MASL).
After Vikinghytten continue south-west until you reach the main mountain route going from Ulriken to Fløyen. Follow this path for just 100 meters and then keep right to climb down following the rather steep path back to Jordal. Make sure that you do not follow the path to the left towards Rundemanen (the mountain with the big antenna). Right before you reach the Jordal fields you will have to cross the small creek. On rainy days (which are numerous in Bergen) it may be a lot of water in the creek but there are a lot of stones in the creek to use for the crossing.
