Løvstakken
Mountain in Norway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Løvstakken[3] is a mountain in Bergen Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is one of the Seven Mountains that surround the center of the city of Bergen. The 477-metre (1,565 ft) tall mountain is located between the Fyllingsdalen and Bergensdalen valleys on the Bergen Peninsula. Løvstakken and the forests nearby are popular hiking areas among the locals since it is essentially located in the central area of Norway's second largest city. Gullsteinen, a large hill located south of the summit of Løvstakken, is also part of the mountain massif and borders the protected forest area of Langeskogen.[4]
