    From the Predigtstuhl it goes 600 m steeply down into the fjord. On the platform many selfies are taken with the magnificent view

      The Preikestolen towers 604 meters above the Lysefjord.
      The climb is one of the most popular mountain tours in Norway

        Breathtaking nature, very varied. Start after 4pm! Then it is not so crowded up there

          If you want to avoid crowds, you should set off early; the first people from the tour buses arrive at the rock at around 9-10am.

            Norway's most famous cliff.

              For a safe and epic hike to Preikestolen, remember: check the weather (don't become a human popsicle), wear sturdy boots (flip-flops are a no-go), and dress in layers (Norwegian weather loves surprises). Start early (pretend you're a morning person), pack snacks and water (you’re not a camel), and follow the marked trail (no off-roading). Be careful near the cliff edge (gravity is not your friend) and let someone know your plans (no disappearing acts). Enjoy the jaw-dropping views but keep safety first – selfies are best when not plummeting.
                A must for every holidaymaker

                  Dad Plateau is worth a visit
