Mount Fløyen: what to do at the top
At the top you find the Trollskogen forest next to the playground, and the paths through the playground are wide. That does not mean the whole walking area is step-free, so plan with a stroller or wheelchair in mind.
Kashmir goats live on Fløyen. Do not feed them. In winter they graze on Osterøy from about 20 November and return around Easter, so you cannot count on seeing them in the cold months.
The Vidden hiking route links Ulriken and Fløyen, and its Fløyen end lies at 320 m. It is a long mountain hike, not a stroll. See the page on Ulriken and the Vidden hike before you go.
