Puddefjord #bridge. Puddikæn. Pudden. A beloved child has many names.

This bridge was built in 1956, and connected the city center peninsula with Gyldenpris, and on to important throughlines to Fyllingsdalen and Laksevåg, an important part of the urbanisation of adjacent areas of #Bergen.

The original bridge had 3 lanes, the middle of which changed direction based on rush traffic – to the city in the morning, and from the city in the afternoon. An identical bridge was build next to it in 1999, so the modern bridge has six lanes – three each way.

Cut the cable for a great roller coaster – you can't spell funicular without fun!

The #Bergen funicular #railway Fløibanen just before the change to the second generation of cars, which happened in 1950. From the city center to the top of nearby Mount Fløyen, the line is less than a kilometer, but covers a height difference of 300 meters. In 2026 it serves two million passengers per year.

Taking the Bergensbanen #railway to the mountains at #Easter used to be so popular that it was unthinkable to bring your skis with you the train. But you could register them on the station and have them be numbered for pickup.

10 461 pairs of skis had been controlled from Easter Tuesday to Wednesday at the Bergen train station.
