A great way to explore Norwegian nature can be found at the doorstep of Bergen, in the area marked by Mount Fløyen: lakes, forest, hills, rocks, and superb views of the Bergen coastline.
When I reached a lake, I saw a waterfall from a distance on the other side. I walked along the shore along the lake, all the time enjoying the view from the other side. Coming closer, the sound of the waterfall was added to the friendly sounds of the natural surroundings, as lots of water came down the hill. No doubt, the quantity of rain falling in these regions always keep the waterfall alive. From here, I backtracked a little, and followed a narrow path that eventually was not more than a vague track up a hill overgrown with trees and moss, until I reached an open area with rocks and a little lonely white house at a distance. Walking around the rocks on the top of this hill gives sweeping views on all sides: small lakes just below, forest, and, lower and further away still, villages climbing out of the sea on the slopes of hills, islands, an enormous boat sailing the fjords on its way to the open sea... Walking down from here was a little tricky, also because there was no real path and I was treading very wet territory. Once back at the lake, I followed a real path, passing some more quiet lakes, before I reached a small road leading me back to the outskirts of Bergen.
