Stavanger & Lysefjord
Norway’s great cliff walks — Preikestolen and Kjerag above a fjord that runs 42 kilometres inland.
The fjord you walk above
The Lysefjord cuts inland from Stavanger between walls that rise more than a thousand metres from the water. Preikestolen — the Pulpit Rock — is the best known of the walks above it, a flat shelf 604 metres over the fjord reached in about two hours from the trailhead.
Kjerag is longer and harder, with the Kjeragbolten boulder wedged in a crevasse. Both are popular enough that timing matters: we start early, or use the boat approach and the Flørli stairway, which sees a fraction of the traffic.
