Norway’s Preikestolen: Hike It If You Dare! | Ep. 162

We get off the boat in this episode and seek adventure high above the water at Norway’s famous Preikestolen, or Pulpit Rock. Here, you can stand out on a rock precipice 600 meters or about 2000 feet off the water. This video explains how to get to the trailhead and what to expect on the trail in order to be safe and enjoy the view. We wrap up the video with an aerial drone sequence that will hopefully have you planning your trip to Preikestolen in no time!

Your report of the ascent is the closest to the actual slog and sufferfest this hike is. Videos show the lovely boardwalk as if it's a prominent part of the hike. In fact, boardwalk or trail is only about 1/2km of the 4 1/2km route. The rest are huge steps, unevenly stone pathed path, and bare rocky slopes.
The look of those at the top is 'oh boy, I did it...but now i have to get down again.'
It is rated a modern hike...yes, moderate for 6'2" Norwegians.
Glad we did it, but felt the info is understated.
You reported it more accurately
