About this audio guide
This guide to Rundemanen, one of the mountains above Bergen, follows the people who once lived on its summit, starting with a schoolchild setting off on an ordinary morning walk to class. It reaches back to the coastal radio station that opened here in nineteen twelve, and to what daily life looked like for the families who kept it running. Best heard beside the two small surviving station buildings on the top.
