There are a few mountains in and around Bergen called Veten. One is situated to the southwest of Bergen on the island of Sotra and is the highest mountain in the municipality of Sund. On clear days the view from the summit can be quite outstanding. Close to the summit there is a monument to mark the place where a Royal Norwegian Air Force Catalina crashed into the mountain in bad weather in 1948. One of the plane's engines forms part of the monument. According to signposts (and a map of the area) the remains of the plane are still visible at the foot of the mountain.
