The Best Sight in Southern Norway, Norway

A huge cube with a vertical drop of 610 meters (2,000 feet), Pulpit Rock is not a good destination if you suffer from vertigo—it has a heart-stopping view. The cliff-like rock sits on the banks of the finger-shaped Lysefjord. You can join a boat tour from Stavanger to see the rock from below, or you can hike for about two hours to the top on a marked trail. The track goes from Preikestolhytta, where there are two parking lots. The trail is open all year, but there are fewer people in the winter season, which makes it a more peaceful and magical time to visit.
