Discover Fyllingsdalen: Nature, Activity and Culture

Fyllingsdalen combines nature experiences with activities for exercise, families and culture. Storavatnet has a bathing area and a popular hiking area; Lynghaugparken brings a large skatepark together with nature-inspired design. There are also historic buildings, a library that serves as a meeting place, and convenient bus and light rail connections. This makes it easy to assess Fyllingsdalen based on the experiences that matter to your trip.

Nature between Sælenvannet and Storavatnet

Sælenvannet lies at the southern end of Fyllingsdalen. The area is west of the central mountain region, which includes Løvstakken. A forest area stretches around Storavatnet and is widely used for hiking. If you like to plan time in nature during your stay, you’ll find both a lake and a well-known hiking area here.

The Storavatnet bathing area at Krohnegården has a sandy beach, a section of jetty and a bathing platform. It also has an accessible bathing ramp and a diving board. These features give the bathing area its own character: you might be interested in the beach, the platform or access via the ramp. The facilities make Storavatnet a specific destination for anyone who wants to consider a bathing area when choosing where to stay on holiday.

Activity and special features at Lynghaugparken

Lynghaugparken has an outdoor skatepark covering about 800 m². The facility is suitable for skateboarding, BMX, scooters, inline skating, roller skating and parkour. This brings together a range of wheeled activities and movement. For families, these specific options may factor into travel plans if children or adults enjoy being active; the listed sports give you a clear idea of what the facility offers.

The park is also notable for its nature-based design. This includes a streambed and stream features, waterside vegetation and adaptations for fish ecology; the design increases biodiversity there. Lynghaugparken thus offers a natural side of Fyllingsdalen as well as its sports facilities. When considering what you want your stay to focus on, you can choose between skate and wheeled activities or nature in the park.

History, the library and family activities

Historically, Fyllingsdalen was characterised by scattered agricultural buildings, which were important to Bergen’s food supply. Despite later development, several significant historic buildings and structures remain. This history adds a glimpse of the area’s earlier character to its present-day leisure activities, so your visit need not be limited to sports or nature.

The library in Fyllingsdalen offers books and board games, as well as space for children and adults. Both quiet reading and lively events are part of what it offers. Spacious seating areas and easy access for everyone are part of its design as a meeting place. For families, this offers a different kind of experience from a day outdoors: you can choose between reading, playing and events.

Egget is a dedicated family accommodation option. It opened in 2021 and offers free overnight stays for families with at least one child under 12. Egget can accommodate a small family and has a wood-burning stove. If you’re looking for a holiday apartment, Egget is an additional accommodation option specifically for families to consider alongside the area’s leisure and cultural activities.

Getting there and choosing your holiday focus

Skyss bus route 4 serves the Løvås stop right outside Fyllingsdalen Teater. Bybanen light rail line 2 also runs from Bergen city centre to the Fyllingsdalen terminal. A cycling tour to Fyllingsdalen suggested by Visit Bergen is 9 kilometres from the Tourist Information and takes about 45 minutes, depending on your pace. These details offer specific guidance on bus, light rail and a cycling tour, without combining different experiences into a single route.

The Fyllingsdalen bicycle tunnel also has special features: its midpoint has art installations, a digital sundial and benches. The tunnel can be crossed on foot or by jogging on a rubber surface laid for that purpose. If you’re considering a holiday apartment in Fyllingsdalen, first think about whether a bathing area and forest trails, activity in the park, family activities or culture will be the deciding factor for your trip. This makes it easier to compare what the area actually offers with what you want from your holiday.
