==Bergen – The City Between The Seven Mountains==

Most famous for its rain, Bergen is notably '''not''' famous for its snow – which really explains quite a bit about the climate. Winters are mild and summers often cool, with both strong winds and rain in both seasons. Boasting a population of 250.000, the city has a very long history, having been founded in 1070. The city itself is located in the south-western part of Norway, and occupies most of the Bergen peninsula, but also stretching beyond that in places. It is the administrative center of Hordaland, one of Norway's 19 fylker – the largest administrative unit below the national government – and has also been, for a brief time, capital city of Norway. It is sheltered from the North Sea by the islands Askøy, Holnsøy and Sotra, and is surrounded by the seven mountains of Lyderhorn, Damsgårdsfjellet, Løvstakken, Ulriken, Fløyen, Rundemannen, and Sandviksfjellet. It and the surrounding area also forms its own municipality (Or kommune).
