Preikestolen is the most famous natural attraction in Norway, a huge square-shaped rock with a 600-meter cliff above sea level, or rather, a fjord. You need to climb on foot from the parking lot (paid, and go to it from Stavanger by ferry) somewhere from a height of 200 m, that is, four or five hours, in the company of a surprisingly large number of tourists from all over Europe who have found the physical strength for this the easiest activity. But the views at the top...Yes, even if the rock itself is always crowded with people, but the panoramas around, and especially if you move a little away from the stream, are fascinating. A special extreme is lying on your stomach, hanging your head and looking down. By the way, for a better panorama, you can climb a little higher than the rock itself (remembering the path for descending back) and see an overview of the Lysefjord fjord on three sides.
