Pulpit Rock - Preikestolen - above Lysefjord
Pulpit Rock is a flat plateau jutting out above Lysefjord with 604m vertical
drop to the fjord below. It is a famous and spectacular landmark of the
Ryfylke and visitors have been coming for years to hike up and onto the
rock - it is a very popular daytrip from Stavanger
with its hotels and restaurants. The views are truly spectacular. It is
also known as Preikestolen, or Prekestolen. |

The walk to Pulpit Rock (detailed description here)
is an
undulating 5 km (each way) hike along a well marked path. There are five stages
to the walk; it starts with a steep climb up from the carpark, then a
long section of more undulating terrain, then another climb, a gentle
sloping plateau beside a couple of lakes and finally a spectacular walk
along the edge of Lysefjord to the rock itself. With stops this can easily
take 5 or 6 hours.
