Pulpit stone
One of Norway's most striking attractions, it is located at an altitude of 604 meters above sea level on the Lysøfjord.
Pulpit Rock is a steep cliff with a flat top that resembles a preacher's pulpit. The pulpit is about 25x25 meters. Arrive at this amazing attraction with endless views of Lysefjord and its surrounding mountains.
One of the most popular hikes in Norway is the trek to The Pulpit Rock. You can enjoy the views around the town of Stavanger, which makes the hike relatively easy.
The best time to hike in Norway is from April to September, and it is not recommended to do it in winter or early spring, as ice and snow can make the track very slippery. Since this natural landmark does not have safety railings, hikers need to pay attention to the edge of the cliffs.
You will need to walk from the property to Evangelii in 4-6 hours. The difference in altitude for hiking is 330 meters. You have to pay attention to the ground because you have to walk through wooded areas, swamps, harsh terrestrials, and hard granite. It is recommended to wear a pair of strong shoes, warm clothes and bring a packed lunch. Many cruise ships travel and passenger ferries also pass through pulpit rocks throughout the year.
To get to Pulpit Rock, you have a variety of options. You can take the ferry from Stavanger to Tau or from Lauvvik to Oanes. From Tau and Oanes, it's a short drive to The Pulpit Rock Mountain Lodge, where the marked Pulpit Rock Trail begins.
From Lauvvik: Drive to Lauvvik via the Rv 13 National Tourist Route Ryfylke. Take the ferry from Lauvvik to Oanes (8 minutes) and continue along Rv 13 before following the signs to Preikestolen.
