The story
Fløyen or Fløyfjellet is a mountain in Bergen Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is one of the "seven city mountains" that surround the centre of the city of Bergen. Its highest point is 400 m (1,300 ft) above sea level. The name could originate from fløystangen or a weather vane that was set up to indicate the direction of the wind for sailing ships. The view of the Bergen Peninsula makes Fløyfjellet a popular attraction among tourists and locals alike. The Fløibanen funicular transports passengers from the centre of Bergen to a height of 320 m (1,050 ft) in roughly eight minutes.
