Preikestolen

The Pulpit Rock — a flat square of granite 604 m straight above the Lysefjord, sheared off by ice and left with a 25-metre face on three sides. The shortest of Norway's three famous rock walks and the busiest; the path is stepped and built most of the way. [Route details] Start and finish: Preikestolen car park (270 m) 8.2 km there and back · 281 m to 628 m About 4 hours [Good to know] - The route here is the round trip as the source records it — out and back on the same path. - Open all year, but the last stretch ices over and the top has no railing. - Reached by ferry and bus from Stavanger; it is the easiest of the three to do in a day. - Elevation is sampled from a terrain model, not recorded on the ground.
