Nature's ingenuity surpasses most things
Are you ready for something to write home about? On a mountain's edge, unnerving high above the fjord, you'll spectacularly experience the Edge of Norway. You decide; here you can go high, low, far, wide - and everything is on your terms. We guarantee that you'll feel alive.
Top natural attractions on the edge of the world!
The Stavanger region is best known for its spectacular natural attractions that draw visitors from all over the world. Highlights include Preikestolen, the impressive rock formation overlooking the Lysefjord. Then there's Kjeragbolten, a huge rock wedged between two mountain walls. It offers a nerve-wracking photo opportunity if you dare to step out onto the rock. Are you tough enough to stand on the bolt with a full 1,000 metres down to the fjord?
Preikestolen
Preikestolen - the most iconic of them all. If Norway had been designed by landscape architects, Preikestolen would have been an award-winning work of genius.

Guided hike to Pulpit Rock Preikestolen
Sandnes
This trip will take you on one of Norway's most popular and spectacular hikes. It is for good reason that this hike has gained its popularity with visitors to Norway and locals alike. Situated only a few hours from Stavanger, Pulpit Rock - or Preikestolen in Norwegian - is a towering cliff-plateau directly suspended over Lysefjorden. To stand (or sit) so close to the edge is probably the moment that hikers look forward to the most, although it is no easy deed. The top offers unobstructed views over the meandering blue fjord that was formed by the glaciers during the last Ice Age, making it a good spot to enjoy a photo session and possibly a light snack.
Get to Preikestolen on your own
You can also take a bus to the starting point of the hike, and walk up to the top on your own. However, in winter, it's recommended to do the hike with a nature guide.
