Finding the Qibla from Bergen
From Bergen you pray towards the south-east, at an angle of 125.6° from true north; the Kaaba is 4,584 km away. This bearing is calculated with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Bergen and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Note that a compass points to magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees from true north.
