About this audio guide
This guide to Løvstakken, one of Bergen's city mountains, is about the rock under your feet rather than the view. It follows the uranium and thorium locked in the summit granite, a power company's drill in the valley of Fyllingsdalen, and two researchers who modelled the crust beneath the city in twenty twenty. Best heard at the summit cairn, facing west over Fyllingsdalen.
