It may be one of the most touristic routes in Norway, but it is nonetheless impressive.
Preikestolen (also called The Pulpit Rock) is a large rock that is perched on the cliff of the Lysefjord fjord more than 600 meters high. The views from here are really exceptional, of those that take away the hiccups (literally). The edges of this great rock are precipices of hundreds of meters to which people peek out (sometimes in a "kamikaze" way).
This is a place, that although it is always full of people, it is worth knowing. It is advisable to arrive early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the large crowds of people coming from the cruise ships (I luckily went up soon and I did not meet too many people, however when I came back I crossed over with thousands of people going to the Preikestolen).
Interestingly, despite being a popular site, the access road is about 9 kms (round trip) and with an accumulated altitude of about 500 meters. Logically, from my point of view it is not suitable for people who are not used to walking minimally or who have mobility difficulties. Also keep in mind that people who suffer from vertigo, will not have a great time.
The track that I have posted here is only the way to go. I forgot to turn on the GPS on the way back ;-)

Me gusta fuustes en avión o crucero ,y si no es mucha indiscreción ,cuanto sale en viaje
Hola maxtodoterreno. Fuí por mi cuenta. Volé: Madrid-Londres-Oslo (con cuatro compañías distintas). El vuelo me costó alrededor de los 350€. Y en Noruega estuve durmiendo en albergues y cabañas de madera. Saludos
Ok gracias
Muy buenas. Max, tengo una duda. He visto que la mayor parte de la gente asciende sobre la cabecera del púlpito. Por donde se accede y como es esa ruta? gracias de ante mano
Que te responds Apatrida es suya
Ups. Disculpa. Apátrida podríamos indicarme el camino hacia la cabecera del púlpito? gracias.
Muy bonita Ruta, lo intentaremos hacer en Mayo de este año.
Me gustaría saber si es muy complicada la subida, https://es.wikiloc.com/rutas-senderismo/preikestolen-el-pulpito-noruega-3119213/photo-1664381
Muchas gracias por tu análisis. Soy de los del vértigo, pero esto no me lo voy a perder. No creo que pueda acercarme mucho al borde, pero que voy a subir, seguro. Sábado 10 agosto 2019, me espera esta ruta, madrugaremos mucho siguiendo tu consejo.
