Historical Walk / Byvandring

• Historical 'walk'
Wednesday Sept. 4th, kl 1830-2000

This year's guided walk took us through the oldest part of Bergen, starting at Fløiebanen's lowest station, along Øvregaten, once the main road in Bergen, through Bryggehagene, past Schøttstuene, down to Kroken, past the ruins of St. Catherine's hospital and the old city hall, down to the site of the explosion in the harbour in 1944, behind Håkonshallen and then up to Sverresborg, before heading off for a pint at Dr. Weisners pub.

Our knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide, Bjørn Kahrs, offered up very interesting stories and historical facts, and many of us learned of statues, plaques, and stairs we'd never seen before.  A well worthwhile tour of Bergen!
