Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock ) Lysefjord Stavanger Norway

The Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen) is no doubt the best known tourist attraction and has been a magnet for tourists for over 150 years. The characteristic mountain shelf 604 metres (1980ft) over Lysefjord has been visited by hundreds of thousands throughout the years.
From the Preikestolhytta, a 7 km traiI climbs the rest of the 350 metres (1148ft) to the top. Good shoes and physical health are necessary for the 2 - 3 hour hike.

The thought of standing near the edge makes my feet warm and tingly.

[@MadTarnsman]

A truly wonderful video, and place!! I'd be paralyzed with fear even getting to the top of that rock!

I was here with my family 17 years ago.. wow, how time flies!! An amazing place... very peaceful and inspiring. A long and somewhat arduous "climb" up though! LOL Well, well worth it!! Thanks for posting this video. You've really captured the experience. Too bad I didn't know about the pools at the bottom. I would have loved a swim afterwards!!

[@yertuby]

Hi,
Thank you for your nice comments.
This was my first time back as well after 35 years.

[@tsonguiAng]

I have been there in 2007. ---from Taiwan

[@ArnsteinBjone]

Wonderful video...but I missed some shots from the edge..:-)

[@oldrestless]

Nice view. Too crowded for my liking though. The music made it scarier. I do a lot of hiking and love views but I don't like to sit on the edge of a cliff. That sheer drop is frightening.

[@harixav]

Thanks to google, i got to know about this wonderful place through their email :) though the mountains quite high but its well worth that 2 to 3 hour walk..

[@sigbjorna]

Thank you for your nice comments, yes it is scary but very beautiful

[@MrChilliphil]

I would be very scared even if i would look over the edge!
Were there many accidents happened over the years??

[@sigbjorna]

I'm sure you would love it, thanks

[@BigAngeloSantorini]

I'm even scared for watching this video. I could never go there.

[@sigbjorna]

Thanks,
you would love it

[@sigbjorna]

Preikestolen is very close about 40 min, but first you have to take a ferry from Stavanger to Tau and then drive from there to Prekestolen parking area.
The hike from the parking area will take you anywhere from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours.
The hike can be Strenuous so you should be in good health before taking on this hike.

[@sigbjorna]

Thank you for your nice comments, I love making Videos.

[@sigbjorna]

Did you enjoy it?

[@yennteng]

@sigbjorna Hi there...do they have shuttle buses to get from Tau to the Prekestolen parking area...?

[@irekzzzzz]

When is the best weather to visit pulpit rock?

[@Sambieg]

[@Nikken11]

[@MouthOfTheUnknown]

[@MikeDee_Cyan]

[@0mgf41lz0rk0]
