About this audio guide
This guide to Stoltzekleiven in Bergen starts with a simple job, counting the stone steps up Sandviksfjellet, and the trouble that begins when you compare your number with anyone else's. It reaches back to the late nineteen thirties, when the trail was built as relief work, and to the family farm that gave it its name. Best heard at the foot of the stairs on Fjellveien, before you start to climb.
