Here we conquer the iconic Pulpit Rock hike Norway. In case you’re wondering, Pulpit Rock also goes by the name of Preikostolen. So why is it named Pulpit Rock? Well, it looks like a preacher’s pulpit – the raised stand in front of the preacher they use during a sermon. From Pulpit Rock you look down over the beautiful Lysefjord.
Why is Pulpit Rock so special? This flattish section of rock, shaped during the last ice age over 10,000 years ago, covers an area of about 25 square metres but it has a sheer drop of 604m all the way down to Lysefjord (a 42-kilometre long fjord). The reward when reaching Pulpit Rock? Stunning panoramic views from this amazing natural wonder.

Did you know that Pulpit Rock was discovered in 1896 and the first tourist travelled to the top of Preikestolen in the early 1900s. Now, it draws more than 300,000 visitors per year!
There are many travel options from Stavanger. We've written a comprehensive article about the hike and travel/accommodation options.
