What to expect on the way to Pulpit Rock

Pulpit Rock rises a lofty 604 meters over the beautiful Lysefjord. The site grants visitors a viewpoint that both CNN and Lonely Planet have rated as one of the world's most spectactular.

The trek itself will take you through hilly terrain. There are delightful spots along to way for a picnic or a refreshing dip in water. If you are fit and accustomed to overland hiking, then you can expect the journey to take around two hours each way. Smaller children and those who are not so experienced should plan for a longer tour.
