Our trip to Preikestolen [i.e. "The Pulpit Rock"]. Upper left image: My son at a sign telling the way to the "pulpit". The sign is located by the parking lot at the Pulpit Rock Tourist Center [Norwegian: Preikestolhytta], from whence you have to walk to the Pulpit Rock. Center image: Our GPS track from the trip. (I tracked the hike only in one direction, as we returned to the tourist center along the same path as we went to the "pulpit". 8 km is, however, the distance back and forth along this path. Upper right image: My son by one of the small ponds that you pass as you're trekking towards Preikestolen. Middle left image: Part of the path towards the Pulpit Rock.

This afternoon I had a nice hike to the mountain plateau called The Pulpit Rock, in Norwegian Preikestolen. Weather was fabulous, it was actually so hot we needed to bring along a bottle of water each. It's a walk of about 4 km only (in each direction) from the parking area. Preikestolen is among the most famous tourist attractions in Norway, and has an estimated number of more than 200.000 visitors per year; hence a rather nice stone track has been made for the hikers, though it is, I have to say, a bit pebbled.
