Preikestolen is one of the area's most profound turist attractions.
This natural rock formation, with a 25 meter squared plateau, stands 604 meters above the sea. In 2013 more than 200 000 tourists visited Pulpit Rock.
The original name of the rock formation is "Hyvlatonnå" - which means the tooth of a woodplane.
Today's name could have its origin in the shape or possibly be due to that it might have been a place of sacrifice.
The hike takes about two hours each way, by foot, even though it is not more than 3 - 4 km from the Preikestolen Lodge. The trail is well marked and recently re-furbished.
The main season for hiking is from April to September, but bad weather would make the trip inadvisable.
