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..
