About this audio guide
This guide to Ulriken in Bergen follows a poem written in seventeen ninety by Johan Nordahl Brun, a city priest who turned the view from this summit into the song Bergen still calls its own. It ranges from harbour ships and hilltop beacons to an old French minuet and a sixteen-year-old singer at Eurovision. Best heard at the summit viewpoint, facing down toward the water.
