The Hikes

• If you want to go to Sandviksfjellet via Skredderdalen, you can start the ascent in Mulen next to a white building with the text Bergen Vandverk 1914. You follow the path all the way up to the start of a gravel road. Turn left and then left again up a short curve. On the top of the small hill, there is a path going towards a cairn. From here you have an excellent view of Bergen. Follow the road back or conitnue along the lake until you reach the end. Here you have several options for hikes.
• Another route includes the infamous and popular Stoltzekleiven. You walk around 800 steps towards the top. The reward is a beautiful view over Bergen and you can continue your hike towards Rundemanen. 

How to get there

The two most popular paths to the top are the challenging Stoltzekleiven and the more moderate Skredderdalen. Both paths begin in Fjellveien.

• One option to begin the hike is to walk to Mulen/Fjellveien from Byparken. 
• You can also walk to the start of Stoltzekleiven from Byparken.
• Additionally, you can walk to the start of Skredderdalen from Byparken. 
• If you need public transport, you can hop on almost every bus running in the northern direction from Festplassen, Torget (Fish market), or Bryggen to reduce your walking somewhat. Search for the best transit options in the Skyss Travel Planner (you can also use the map available on their travel planner to find a bus stop close to the trail head you want to use). The closest bus stop to our suggested routes are Mulen or Munkebotn.
