Info: Pulpit Rock or Preikestolen, Prekestolen in Norwegian, is one of the areas most biggest tourist attractions. This natural rock formation with a 25 meter squared plateau stands 604 meters above the sea. Thousands of tourists visit the Rock every year. The trip takes about two hours by foot (round trip 4 hrs), but the rock formation can also be enjoyed from the sea by boat. The original name of the rock formation is "Hyvlatonnå" - which means the tooth of a woodplane. Todays name could have its origin in the shape or possibly be due to that it might have been a place of sacrifice.
Lori took the below photo looking over the side of Pulpit Rock... I skipped the looking over the side. I saw enough to know it was a long way down. Do you see the white dots in the water? Those are large tour boats... and when I say large I mean ferry size large vessel.
Me standing as close to the edge as I was ever going to get.
This is about a 1/2 of the way up the rocks that we had to scale in one of the steep sections.
Thank goodness for flat sections. LOL! This was the swap area with a bunch of bugs. This flat section appeared about 1/3 of the way into the trip. Although it didn't stay flat for long.
Of course I have more pictures of the scenry but if I loaded them all my pictures you would be on this site forever. ;)
