Bergen is the City of Norway, ideal for the one who likes to be in good shape.
Surrounded by seven mountains, gives huge possibilitis to practice athletics, and of course, uphill training.

The very steep uphill of Stoltzekleiven, wich appair toward Sandviksfjellet, at a height of 313.5 m. through 801 "steps" (is said that this is the most steep uphill of the world) gives real good conditions-results to a systematic training.

Evey years, a competition is organized on Stoltzekleiven by the "Varegg" in Bergen near the end of september. Because this "uphill-run" on this mountain is a tradition, most of people in Bergen, around Norway and maybe also from foreign countries paticipate, no matter if they can faint or get a heart attck for lack of training.

Jon Tvedt, the Norwegian champion from Bergen, called "the king of mountains running uphill" "The king of Stoltzekleiven" ("Kongen av motbakkeløp" "Motbakkekongen" "Kongen av Stoltzekleiven" - "Il re di corsa su salita (corse su salite) in montagna" Il re di Stoltzekleiven") kept is record of 8 minutes and some seconds (I can't remember precisely the seconds) for meny years, untill he died after is last victory in 2008 under a training on "Gullfjellet" (see my presentation of this mountain on my channel). He was only 43 years old. He has been immensely honored from most people in Bergen and from all who knew him around the world.

Because repairs and renewals this year has been made on Stoltzekleiven (they are still working on it), it's much easeier now to run to the top. The old record from Jon Tvedt is now
protected.
