Definetly worth the 2 hr. hike. I'm in my early 50's with lung problems and I hesitated on going but I made it in normal time and the hike is worth the view. If you're in the area, don't even think twice about going. Spectacular views even if you're scared of heights. more

The following is an excerpt from my journal from my July visit. Dang ... my feet hurt! What an exhausting day!! The plan was to catch the 9a ferry to Tau and then take the bus to Preikestolen for the cliff hike. We raced out of the apartment at 8:35 and made it down to the ferry area in less... more

My husband and I signed up for this Pulpit Rock tour by ferry as we were not sure that we would be able to do the hike up and down, being rather unfit unfit urbanites ourselves. The cruise was totally worth it. It was a relaxing journey and the ferry had a sundeck where we could wander up to from... more

The icecold beer afterwards was worth every single crown!! Recommended for everyone, but remember good shoes, some food and enough water for the walk... more

A friend and I took a little over a week driving in a car from Oslo, towards Bergen and to end the trip, we decided to go to Preikestolen. I think it is one of my favourite spots in the world. Google this place and you can see the pictures. Before making it up there, I remember we joked about... more

The hike was great, but a bit strenuous. I guess not for the Norweigans but for me an American, yea, it was tough. (and I work out regularly and run marathons).Totally worth it though. The view is spectacular. And you can get right up to the edge. If you are thinking about seeing Preikenstolen, you should do the hike over... more

This is one of the best hikes I have ever been on. I lived in Stavanger for 18 months and went on this hike at least six times. Each time was truly spectacular. The hike is moderate - easy for a hiker, strenuous for a non-hiker. It takes an average hiker about 90 minutes to get to the rock. Preikestolen... more
