During the climb (not really a 2hour climb, more a 1h climb and a 1h uphill walk), there are some lakes, so you can refresh yourselves. Some people even swam there.
Finally on Preikestolen, the view is fantastic.
Only annoying thing: the helicopter… like a nasty insect.

A geological anomali, should have fallen down a long time ago! The Lysefjord area was full of similare blocks of rock – all the others have fallen down.
Worth the “climbe” but rather tough if you are not used to mounten hickes. Not as long a hick as Kjaerag (further in the same fjord. Exciting sitting dangeling with your feet some 597 meters above the fjord (sea).
“One of Norway’s major tourist attractions.
Heigh above sea level 597 m. A magnificent sight from the ferry deck.”
Placed in Lysefjorden:
“One of Norway’s wildest and most beautiful fjords. A threshold fjord, only 13 m deep at the mouth of the fjord. Up to 457 m deep. 42 km long.”

Prekestolen (aka Preacher’s Pulpit or Pulpit Rock) is a massive cliff 604 meters above Lysefjorden in Forsand, Norway.
In order to get there from Stavanger I had to take a 40 minutes ferry trip to Tau (The ferry time tables). When I got to Tau I took a bus ride to Prekestolen Camping/Parking Lot and from there it took me one hour and a half of intense walking and climbing to get up to the cliff itself. I encountered some bad weather on my way up there (in the middle of August) but when I got there the sky cleared up.
There is an easier way of seeing the Prekestolen in it’s full glory by getting reservations to see it thorugh an helicopter trip.
The view up on the Prekestolen is the most beautiful I have ever seen in my life.. I stayed there for 2-3 hours just enjoying myself..
