About the Preikestolen hike

Preikestolen Hike (Pulpit Rock) | From Stavanger | Go Fjords

Go Preikestolen (round trip)

The hike consists of hilly terrain with a difference in altitude of 350 metres. Along the way you encounter sheltered forest coves and wood paved marshland among others. A granite stairway laid by the Nepalese Sherpas is one of the trail highlight. Did we mention the polished rock surrounded by 3 small ponds just before you reach Preikestolen?

 The hiking terrain

Lysefjorden is the southern most fjord in Norway. End to end, it measures 42 (26 mi) kilometers with rocky walls falling nearly vertically over 1,000 meters (3,3000 ft) into the water. The name means light fjord, and is said to be derived from the lightly coloured granite rocks along its sides. The fjord is narrow and deep. Just below Preikestolen is its deepest point dropping to a depth of over 400 meters (1,300 ft).

Lysefjord

The famous plateau has been named one of the world’s most spectacular viewing points by both CNN Go and Lonely Planet. It measures about 25 x 25 meters, and was most likely shaped by the expansion of ice some 10,000 years ago. According to historians, the first known person to visit Preikestolen was Thomas Peter Randulff, a bank manager from Stavanger in 1896.

The Preikestolen Plateau (the Pulpit Rock)

Just outside Stavanger you will pass through the longest undersea road tunnel in the world. The tunnel system is brand new replacing the old ferry that used to traffic between Stavanger and Tau on the way to Preikestolen. It is 14,3 kilometres long, which puts it well ahead of its predecessor, the Tokyo Bay Tunnel in Japan (9583 m.)
