The fortress at Fjell is one of Norways largest military facilities from WW2. Construction started in 1942, with the intent of guarding the port of Bergen from military attacks from the Allied forces. The turret with three guns was removed in 1968. The well were the gun once was fitted, now leads to the interior of the fortress. A stairwell leads to the interior of the fortress. The well is 17 meters deep. A modern servicebuilding has been built where the turret once was. In this building you will find our cafe. The fortress itself covers an area of close to 200 acres. Large parts of this is accessible from gravel foothpaths. These takes you close to rare German WW2 constructions. Fjell frestning is accesible with car or public transport. Travel time from Bergen is approx 30 minutes.

There are a bunch of ways to get to Fjell Festnung. After asking several people online and getting NO answers from anyone, I asked at the tourist office and they told me to get off the 450 bus at Sore Fjell station. That is where the hiking trails start from. It was a wet day and I clambered up the trail along wet rocks and clinging to damp trees. It is a well-marked hiking path but NOT for the timid. It took me about half an hour to get up the cliff and I was drenched. I did see evidence of the fortress along the way. Once I got to the dry turret cafe, I was able to enjoy some pancakes and coffee and eventually survey the three floors in the gun turret area. They have some nice historical displays about the Russian POWs who worked there, and schematics of the fortress and its important in the defenses of Norway in WWII. And when the skies clear, you can see all the way out to the North Sea, I was not there on a tour day but I felt I got my money's worth. It is on the Bergen Card. I walked down the longer but easy way on the paved road to the parking lot. I think the bus stop there is called Tellnesskogen. It is a very historic site that is preserved as well as something abandoned and then repurposed can be. And if you are so inclined, the cafe has a copy of Ticket to Ride, so you can boardgame on top of a Nazi Fortress. How is that for bragging rights!
