Norway’s iconic fjord-top viewpoint

Preikestolen

Preikestolen, also known as Pulpit Rock, is a dramatic granite cliff rising about 604 metres above Lysefjorden in Rogaland. The demanding but well-marked hike crosses forest, rocky slopes and stone steps before reaching one of Norway’s most memorable viewpoints.
