Mjølfjell (literally 'Flour Mountain', maybe due to the light-coloured bedrock in the area) is located to the east of Bergen on the Bergen-Oslo railway line and is easily accessible either by train or car (approx. 2 hours drive from Bergen). The railway station is 138 km from Bergen at 627.2 metres above sea level. The area today is used mostly for recreational purposes (there are approx. 500 cabins in the area), but there are still a few farms and also a military training facility (in Norwegian) at Mjølfjell.
Over the years Dog Handler and Mata Hari have organised the BH3 Mjølfjell weekend at Dog Handler's family's cabin. Mjølfjell also happens to be the area where Foggy Glasses learned all about mountain and cross-country skiing in the early 1960's.
