About this audio guide
This guide to Tippetue Viewpoint in Bergen follows Anders Olsen, a nineteenth-century porter better known for a rhyme he chanted in the streets than for the loads he hauled. It touches on a respectable tree-planting society, a new gravel road cut up the mountain in nineteen oh eight, and the novelist Amalie Skram. Best heard at the railing, with the city spread out below you.
