About this audio guide
This guide to Lyderhorn, the witches' mountain above Bergen, goes back to the spring of fifteen ninety and the trial of Anne Pedersdotter, a priest's widow. It follows the testimony of her maid, a barber-surgeon's grudge over a courtship, and a king's letter that was meant to protect her. Best heard at the summit cairn, facing east toward the harbour.
