Preikestolen or Prekestolen is a tourist attraction in the municipality of Strand in Rogaland county, Norway. Preikestolen is a steep cliff which rises 604 metres above Lysefjorden. Atop the cliff, there is an almost flat top of approximately 25 by 25 metres. Preikestolen is located near the Western part of the fjord, and on its North side. Tourism at the site has been increasing in the early 21st century, with between 150,000 and 200,000 visitors in 2012, making it one of the most visited natural tourist attractions in Norway.

#europetrip If you’re looking for a hike that combines heart-pounding heights with jaw-dropping views, look no further than Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) in Norway. This iconic cliff, towering 604 meters above the Lysefjord, offers one of the most stunning vistas in the world—and a bit of an adrenaline rush along the way. Start your adventure early at the Preikestolen Mountain Lodge to catch the morning light as you ascend. The hike is about 4 kilometers each way, but don’t be fooled—while it’s not an extreme climb, the rocky terrain and occasional steep sections will keep you on your toes. The trail is well-marked and takes about 4-5 hours round-trip, giving you plenty of time to savor the experience. As you approach the summit, the landscape opens up before you like a scene from a movie. The cliffs drop dramatically into the fjord below, and the surrounding mountains stretch as far as the eye can see. Stand on the flat rock at the edge (if you’re brave enough!) and feel the wind whip through your hair as you take in the breathtaking panorama. After the hike, treat yourself to a well-earned snack while soaking in the views. Preikestolen is one of those places that will make you feel small in the best way possible—surrounded by nature’s magnificence.

Jørpeland, a city in Rogaland County, Norway, is known for its numerous hiking trails, with Preikestolen being the most famous. This time, we ventured into the forest of Jørpeland towards Preikestolen, encountering various trees, flowers, and many unique rocks, which brought us immense joy. The mountain path in this forest is not too difficult to walk, but it is definitely necessary to wear sneakers and sportswear.

#gohiking The hike to Preikestolen in Norway is a breathtaking adventure that rewards every step with awe-inspiring vistas. The 8-kilometer round trip journey takes you through diverse terrain, from dense forests to rocky plateaus. The final destination, the iconic Pulpit Rock, offers a heart-stopping view over Lysefjord, making the effort well worth it. The trail is well-marked and suitable for moderately experienced hikers, with occasional steep climbs adding a touch of challenge. The sense of achievement, combined with the stunning natural beauty, makes this hike an unforgettable experience in the heart of Norway's wilderness. My rating: 4.5 ⭐️ out of 5!

#gohiking My hike to Preikestolen was a thrilling adventure! The trail was challenging, but the breathtaking views from the top made it all worth it. At 604m above Lysefjorden, the scenery was simply majestic. I felt like I was on top of the world! Reaching 604m above Lysefjorden, the views were simply stunning. Luck was on our side, as the sky cleared and the sun shone brightly. Preikestolen, you have stolen my heart!

Types of play, duration of play, average cost (yuan) European multi-country romantic tour▶1 day 300 Norwegian fjords are formed by the mutual biting and swallowing of the sea and land, and the large and small fjords form its unique landscape line, which fascinates tourists from all over the world. But because Norway's terrain is narrow and long, it is difficult for anyone to see all the fjords in a limited time. If you are like us, time and money are limited, but you have a restless heart and want to control the steering wheel to appreciate the fjord style of Norway, then I recommend you to live in Jorpeland (the address of the homestay we found is Tulipanstien 6), there are 5 reasons: 1. The tour of Lysefjord is close at hand, and you can also reach the parking lot of Freiskstolen scenic spot in half an hour by car, which can save you from the trouble of ferry + bus from Stavanger. 2. The fjord scenery on the way to Oslo is changeable and full of surprises, and you will not be aesthetically tired. 3. It is very convenient to visit the old city of Stavanger, half an hour by car, or about an hour by bus if you don't drive. PS: I don't like this overly touristy, noisy, and high-priced city, although its old city seems quite quiet and there are many traces of decoration, but it loses its original taste. 4. The town looks very remote and there are not many people on the road, but in fact there are several supermarkets there, and you can buy daily necessities and food in a few minutes. Free parking, a must for poor travel! Self-driving route: Oanes-Oslo takes the central route. After referring to many strategies and combining our own time and the advice of the homestay landlord, we chose this route and selected "avoid toll stations" in Google Maps to reach Oslo. 7. Play time: 8-10 hours. Because the journey is far and the scenery is diverse, we stop and go, play while walking, plus waiting for the ferry, eating and going to the toilet in the middle, the actual time spent is much more than the navigation estimated time, it is recommended that everyone set off as early as possible in the morning. Highlights along the way: The scenery along the way is as shown in the picture, the sea water, streams, hanging waterfalls, un-melted snow on the top of the mountain, pastoral with traditional Norwegian wooden houses, wooden churches, leisurely crossing the road Little sheep*** It's a step by step, but for the driver, it's a torment because I want to watch the scenery and I have to watch the road at all times. The road conditions are very good, even if it is a free road. Norway has invested a lot of money in the roads for self-driving tours of the fjords, and the road conditions are very good. It's just that some sections have many bends and narrow roads, so driving needs to be careful.

Norway's three peculiar stones: Pulpit Rock, Miracle Stone, and Devil's Tongue. Pulpit Rock is the most famous and one of the landmarks of Norway's fjords. It is also the most popular hiking destination among the three stones and relatively easy to reach. Pulpit Rock is located in Lysefjord, 604 meters above sea level, and is actually a rock cliff suspended high above the fjord. 🚞 Fromm Mountain Train A railway that shows the essence of Norway. It is Norway's "most" classic train travel route, rated by Lonely Planet magazine as the "most beautiful train sightseeing route in the world". Newly appointed "Norwegian Fjord Travel Ambassador" Wang Luodan and Wang Yuan have both ridden this sightseeing train. ☘️ This railway connecting Frome and Middletown has a drop of 866 meters and has been under construction for over 20 years, passing through the Ayrland Bay. It is a branch of Norway's longest fjord, Sognefjord. You can enjoy magnificent scenery along the way. Passing through the famous Rjoandefossen waterfall and the famous Shosh waterfall with a drop of 225 meters, it is one of the most famous waterfalls in Norway. ✨

One of the three major fjords in Norway, the Preikestolen cliff is an easy hiking trail with clear signposts, beautiful scenery and magnificent views. The Lysefjorden at the bottom of the mountain is spectacular and majestic. Since there is no fence around the edge of the mountain, be careful. It’s safe. We drove there in an RV. We ate, drank, and slept in the RV. There are hotels available for rent nearby. It’s a good choice for travelers who love hiking.

Norway has the reputation of the country of the fjord, with 80% of the world's fjords in Norway and her more famous Milford Sound in New Zealand. Therefore, the fjord has become a world heritage and it is also expected. As a boulder stone of one of the three megaliths, the summit can overlook the Sognefjord, just need to hike for 4-6 hours. The more famous Gaillang Fjord and the Nryfjord are located in the southwest of Norway and can be visited in Norway. It is recommended to experience the fjord scenery slowly and stay in flam or Ai Yulan for one night. Summer is the peak season, the weather is relatively good, and the reflection of the fjord under the blue sky and white clouds is very magnificent. Moreover, there are countless large and small waterfalls on the cliffs, which are very beautiful. There are also small town fishing villages on both sides, and the colored wooden houses are also very cute. Transfer from the country to the capital Oslo, then take a plane or train to Bergen or Stavanger to start your fjord tour!
