By far the most beautiful place I've seen in Norway. It may not be as picturesque as waterfalls, or some fjords, however standing some 600m directly above the sea level doesn't happen every day. Recommendations: 1) If you want to enjoy Preikestolen on your own, start your climb around 7am. The sooner the better. It takes 2 hours just to... More

Preikestolen is one of Stavanger's most popular tourist attractions (together with the equally amazing Kjerag). In the following trip report I will give some details about my trips to Preikestolen (or Prekestolen as it is also refered to) over the years – I was there in April 2012. Preikestolen is known as the Pulpit rock in English which is a... More

If you're going to Stavanger, it's probably for the Preikestolen. And if it's not for this, do whatever it takes to hike this rock!!! You will thank me later. It's so awe-inspiring. The view was simply... amazing. Out of this world!! Start your hike early. If you're taking the ferry, make sure you get the first one. It takes about... More

The view is amazing. I'd recommend renting a car instead of taking the bus. It was really frustrating waiting around forever for the bus.

This is a walk up hike that will take 1-2 hours depending on you conditioning. The views are spectacular from the rock and the trail is very scenic as well.

I've done this trip about five times and enjoyed it every time. Best tip is to start early to avoid the crowds starting later in the day. Go when there is good weather to be able to appreciate the views and ensure to dangle your feet over the edge on the top.

The walk up is not as challenging as some other place but still requires a bit of preparation. The view from up there is unbelievable. I would say this is a must visit if you are in the Rogaland region.

this was my second big hike after having my ACL replaced. Well worth the time to get up there.
