The peninsula extends out from the mainland and it is surrounded by the following fjords: Samnangerfjorden, Bjørnafjorden, Fusafjorden, Raunefjorden, Byfjorden, Salhusfjorden, Sørfjorden.
The peninsula is connected to the rest of mainland Norway by a narrow, 6.5-kilometre (4.0 mi) wide strip of land between the villages of Trengereid and Årland.
Another significant mountain plateau, Ulriken - Vidden - Rundemanen, is found just east of Bergen's city centre.
You will even find good scrambling opportunities very near Bergen through the ridges on Søre Midtfjell and on the north side of Ulriken.
There are rail connections along the Bergen Line railway that run through the mountain Ulriken to Arna from the city center and then on to Oslo.
