Preikestolen or Prekestolen,
also known by the English translations of Preacher's Pulpit or Pulpit
Rock, and
by the old local name Hyvlatonnå
massive
cliff 604 metres
(1982 feet) above Lysefjorden,
opposite the Kjerag plateau, in Forsand, Ryfylke, Norway. The top of the cliff
is approximately 25 by 25 metres (82
by 82 feet), almost flat, and is a famous tourist attraction in Norway.
The
Pulpit Rock is located in Ryfylke, Rogaland, a county in Western Norway. The
city of Stavanger, the fourth largest in Norway, is located only 25 kilometers
from the site, and the parking facility of the Pulpit Rock is located about one
hour from Stavanger by ferry and car.
The
road to the site ends at a parking facility at Preikestolen Fjellstue. A
trail extends from the parking facility to the site, which goes through a
variety of mountain landscapes. A trip to Preikestolen from
the closest car park takes about 3–4 hours for a round-trip hike.
