Only a short walk away from Fløibanen's top station, you will find the beautiful and idyllic lake Skomakerdiket.
From Fløibanens top station there it is sign posted for lake Skomakerdiket and the gravel road starts just behind the playground. It is possible to push a stroller all the way to the lake. After 400 meters (10-15 minutes) you will reach the quiet and idyllic lake Skomakerdiket surrounded with a forest. Around the water there is a gravel road with nice places to sit and shelters. Here you can enjoy your lunch or make use of the barbecue area.
In the summertime we offer free canoe rental from late June to the end of August. There is no booking - just show up at the pier where the Fløyen hosts will be present.
Let the children play by the water and explore the life in the water. There are also nice hiking trails out from lake Skomakerdiket to “Fjellhytten” and further on to “Blåmann” and Mount “Rundemanen” (another one of Bergen’s seven mountains).
Remember to stop by Skomakerstuen, a brand new café located next to Lake Skomakerdiket. Read more about it here!
