Blåmanen used to be one of the seven City Mountains, but after a referendum some years ago it was demoted to an 'ordinary' mountain! The walk from the centre of Bergen to the summit takes approximately an hour and a half or approximately one hour if one takes the funicular (Fløibanen) to Fløyen and start walking from there. Rundemanen, one of the seven City Mountains, is a short walk from the summit of Blåmanen in a northerly direction. The route takes one past among other things the remains of gun positions built by the Germans during the Second World War.
The picture above is not taken at the actual summit but a bit 'further forward' (and 2 metres lower) to get a better view of Bergen.
