Bergen, Norway - Mountains
Bergen, Norway's second biggest conurbation lies in the inner reaches of the Byfjord. It is the biggest harbor on the west shore of Norway, with a substantial merchant flotilla and numerous large shipyards, the managerial center of the Bergen district and the region of Hordaland, the seat of the Lutheran bishop of Bjørgvin and an educational hub, with a university and a commercial college. Bounded by a ring of hills, known as the Seven Mountains, which are partially forest-covered, with its houses reaching up the lower slopes, Bergen is one of the most beautiful towns in Norway. The city of Bergen is a significant cultural centre and was honored with the title European City of Culture in 2000.
