a tourist attraction in the municipality of Strand in Rogaland county, Norway.
Preikestolen is a steep cliff which rises 604 metres (1,982 ft) above Lysefjorden. Atop the
cliff, there is an almost flat top of approximately 25 by 25 metres (82 ft × 82 ft).
Preikestolen is located near the Western part of the fjord, and on its North side.
The walk to Preikestolen is very steep in places. The path starts at the Preikestolhytta, at
an elevation of approximately 270 metres (890 ft) above sea level, and climbs to 604
metres (1,982 ft). The walk takes 2–3 hours depending on traffic along the trail,
experience, and fitness level.
 |
 |
 Even though the elevation differential is only 334 metres (1,096 ft) and the walk is not particularly long, about 3.8 kilometres (2.4 mi) each way, the total elevation gain and loss over the course of the hike is more than one might initially expect, as the path climbs and descends various ridges.
