Review:

Known in English as Pulpit Rock or Preacher's Pulpit, the spectacular Preikestolen is easily the most popular tourist attraction in Ryfylke. Overlooking the beautiful Lysefjord, the steep cliff rises 1,982 feet above the water and has a distinctive flat top of roughly 82 feet by 82 feet. The plateau is only accessible via a 2.4-mile hike, which has an elevation gain of 1,150 meters and typically takes hikers around 4 hours. Visitors are advised to avoid the hike when there is snow on the trail, so the best time to visit is between April and October.
