Preikestolen is one of Norway’s chief tourist attractions. An amazing view waits you after the 1,5 hour walk , The hike itself is amazing with all the different landscapes; and fun as you can go from rocks to snow. I must warn you, It takes a while to drive to the location, but it is totally worth it when you arrive. A breathtaking view on an amazing ford is worth all the effort.

Just an advice: be prepared and well-equipped

Preikestolen is located in Ryfylke, Rogaland, a county in Western Norway.  It consists of a steep cliff  which rises 1982 feet above Lysefjorden, opposite the Kjerag plateau, with an almost flat top of approximately 82 by 82 feet. The cliff oversees the plush green valleys of the Rifle province. The mountains surrounding the cliff reach heights of up to 843 meters. Some of the hilltops have plains which are interspersed with lakes.

If you take the Preikestolen hike, the history and mythology of the area will fill your mind. It is believed the formation was shaped by frost over 10,000 years ago when the glacier lay close by, just above the rock. This was a fabulous place to visit and by far one of my most favorite experiences ever.  Lonely Planet has also elected the Pulpit Rock as one of the world’s most breathtaking viewing platforms.

A well prepared track lead me to the top of the mountain plateau; you can enjoy the wild and gorgeous nature right up to the Pulpit Rock. The land is hilly and you will find swimming and picnic areas along the trail. I realized that a reasonable level of physical fitness is still required to make it to the top. I spend at least 4 hours hiking there and back, plus an hour on the Pulpit Rock itself. I recommend that you bring enough food and drink.

This is a destination that simply must be experienced. It is purely majestic and worth more than the effort.
