Skredderdalen
Skredderdalen is a good alternative to Stoltzekleiven for hiking Sandviksfjellet because it's quite steep in places, but it doesn't have the intensity of Stoltzekleiven
Skredderdalen is a relatively steep trail up to a path that runs between Sandvikspilen (the arrow on top of Sandviksfjellet) and Fløyen. The trail starts on Fjellveien, next to the white waterwork building ("Bergens Vandverk 1914" is written on the building). Skredderdalen follows a stream called Mulelven which runs from Storediket (a lake on Fløyen) into Nedrediket (a pond).
