  • Very famous view point. A platou with steap edges down to the fjord down below. A fairly easy hiking trip with great view over the Lysefjord.
  • I live in Stavanger so I have been to this place many times over the years. It is a nice hike and the view is amazing on nice summer days. Remember to bring some water to drink and wear good shoes. Here is a link to a page with some pictures and a description of the hike: http://gardkarlsen.com/preikestolen.htm Regards Gard http://gardkarlsen.com - trip reports and pictures
