Vidden Trail

Hike above Bergen, Norway of about 5 hours and 18km. Starting from the top of the Fløyen funicular (320m above sea level) and ending at the top of the Ulriken cable car (607m). In good weather there would be nice views, but I was happy to be able to see the next cairn (had to wait a few times for the clouds to clear a little).










Bergen - day 2

Second day in Bergen, Norway city centre around the port, fish market and wharf (Bryggen).

Trebinje

Quick visit to this small town in Bosnia & Herzegovina, about 35km inland from Dubrovnik in Croatia. The 16th century bridge was moved downstream to here in the 1960s to rescue it from an hydroelectric project.
