Rundemanen is a mountain in Bergen Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is considered one of the Seven Mountains which surround the city centre of Bergen, its elevation of makes it the second highest of them all. The mountain is a part of the same massif as the neighboring mountains of Fløyen, Blåmanen, and Ulriken, but is not easily visible from the city centre of Bergen since it sits behind Fløyen. Still, Rundemanen's low-difficulty trails that offer scenic views of neighboring mountains and islands west of Bergen make them popular footpaths, only taking about 3-4 hours to traverse from Bergen's city center.

==Bergen radio== In 1912, with funding from the Norwegian parliament, the Bergen radio station was constructed on top of Rundemanen. The station housed Norway's first long distance coastal radio, allowing for increased naval safety through direct communication with ships off the coast. In 1927, the station's crew assembled their own shortwave antenna and receiver equipment, becoming the first radio station in Norway to receive a shortwave telegram.
