The best known tourist attraction in the Stavanger area is also one of Norway's most iconic images, the massive flat-topped cliff that rises nearly 609 meters above the waters of Lysefjord.
Preikestolen is a bit of a trip to reach, involving a ferry ride, a bus, and a two-hour hike. But if you have good boots and a head for heights (it's a sheer drop from the edge), the view on a clear day is unforgettable.
