- Preikestolen, Pulpit Rock, Norway, One of the Worlds most Spectacular View points according to CNN GO and Lonely Planet. Hiking the ledge of the most Iconic landmark and views in Norway and Scandinavia. Raised 604m/1982ft from the water of Lysefjord in Ryfylke, Rogaland it is one of the most spectacular sights in Norway, if not the world. To get to the trailhead I needed to the drive through the Ryfast tunnel, the worlds longest and deepest sub sea tunnel. I have included a 2 minute Time Warp video of the tunnel drive in the video. Filmed in 5k on GoPro Hero 9.

I had an amazing hike to Norways most iconic landmark, the Pulpit Rock, Preikestolen, earlier this month. Preikestolen is a “free standing” ledge/plateau leaning out over the Lysefjord, in Rogaland, with a 1982 ft straight drop into the fjord, offering incredible and gut wrenching views of the fjord below and surrounding mountains. Its a classic destination and I had the most wonderful weather to get the most out of it and filmed it all in 5k resolution. As a bonus I got to drive the deepest and longest sub sea tunnel to get to the trailhead. Enjoy!!
The hike to the rock was just as spectacular as the rock itself. Amazing that you were able to capture footage with very few people around. Every video I've seen of the rock shows hundreds of people milling about on top of the rock. Just gorgeous views 360 degrees! Love the music as well as it sets a tone for the visuals.The sea tunnel was impressive as well. Thanks for sharing Jarl.
Glad you enjoyed it! I try to go to tourist traps out of season on a workday
Amazing so quiet. I visited three times.
Thank you for doing this. I have an irrational fear of heights and even watching this video gives me the No feeling. I wish I could go do this.
Thanks for watchinf!
truly awesome
Oh wow! Norway.....Just so breath taking!!
Mother Nature both in Norway & globally, just never ceases to amaze!
This video once again, really captures some stunning Norwegian landscapes, which for me, never ever fail to truly impress.
Thank you Norwegian Xplorer, for sharing such beauty with the world.
Happy travels & hiking!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing to say the least. You must have felt great peace and exhilaration at the same time. To close to the edge for me...made my stomach tingle.
I'm restocked and heading out for another adventure.... certainly nothing as grand as yours. I'm just grateful I can see your part of the world - it's beautiful. Thank you Jarl!
Thank you! Have a safe trip!
Solitude on Prekestolen. I did not think that was possible.
Me neither lol!
Thank you Jarl for a very realistic experience. It was breathtaking and allowed me to experience what it is like up there. I have a fear of heights and would not make it up there to enjoy the view, but your video brought it to life. My legs actually went numb just watching the videos. 😳👍👍
Thank you, you dont have to walk this close to the edge though:-)
I’ve watched a lot of your vids and this one is in my Top 5. Love the build up of you hiking to the Pulpit Rock and then the views from there were utterly AMAZING!! Well done, my friend 👏🏼👏🏼🤙🏼
Awesome, thank you!
You captured it so beautifully! Such an AMAZING video!! I was there back in 2018 and till this day I tell my mom about the experience of this amazing and breathtaking hike. Thank you so much for this video and sharing your experience here!!! Showed this video to my mom and she was able to experience the stunning views! She is mesmerized!! Thank you!! And God bless you!! Keep up the great work!! 👍😍
Thank you so much!!
This is one of the neatest looking trails I have ever seen.
It is pretty well built, it sees a lot of visitors so it is needed
Thank you SO much for sharing this video. My brain sends me into massive anxiety with heights so I probably wouldn't be able to overcome the mental part of this hike so I'm so glad I get to experience a part of it through you! Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you Beth!
Unbelievable views of the fjord mountains and the height! This is an amazing film. Sitting on the edge filming. You can definitely imagine a fall from this place. Beautiful but kind of scary.
Thank you, you can really feel it in your stomach up there, but the winds were calm so it felt pretty safe:-)
The view from above shows the crack has gotten bigger since I was there in 2005. Also there’s been a lot of improvements to the trail. Loved the memories this video brought back. Thank you.
Hopefully it wont fall out anytime soon!
You had great weather that day. When I did this hike in Sept '19, it was sleeting and the wind gusts coming across that flat area at around 14:30 onward was enough to knock me over a few times. Thanks for posting this bringing back memories of my most beautiful hike.
The weather was perfect, I had been waiting for that for a while, the gusts can be crazy, I had some strong gusta while doing Kjerag a month ago and was «almost» blown off the boulder
Outstanding as usual, Jarl! You were so lucky to have it to yourself! Peace and love always.
Thank you, yes I was very lucky, it can be super crowded!
@@NorwegianXplorer How did you get it to yourself If I may ask?
Mindblowing! Viewed most of the middle with that fear-of-heights knot in the pit of my stomach. Also worried that you were. Getting . . . TOO . . . NEAR THE EDGE!!!
Haha, its a long ways down indeed!
Thank you for taking us along. Another great video.
Thank you Eric!
Fantastic video! The scenery was incredible and the drop to the water was stomach churning! The beautiful day helped make this video spectacular!
Thank you Joy!
Breathtaking views, Jarl. How exhilarating it must have felt standing there above all that incredible beauty. You really get a good view of the crack in the Rock from above. Amazing place.
Thank you Lona, Merry Christmas!
Thank you! Merry Christmas
I love seeing what my Motherland has to offer😁... can’t wait to visit! Killer video👍🏼. You got my La Sportivas on😁
Thank you! My favorite shoes for sure, nothing beats the tx4!
I. Have. No. Words. 😮
N I’m Jewish. We ALWAYS have something to say.
If I had freedom n were n a bit better shape I would do this n go there. I even think I would lay n one of those nooks n sleep under the stars. I love this place now. I would most surely feel closer to Yeshua n my son Shane if I were there. I know they r n my heart but just this PLACE !!! 😮
Can u drink from those puddles of water up there ? They look fresh.
Love that rock n all that water u see. Love the tunnel drive. N I LOVE ur beard n long hair n this one too.
Thank u for taking us. Those of us who can’t go live it through u Jarl.
👍🙏🗻❤️‼️
TJ
Yes you can drink the water, this is not a very hard hike at all
Fantastisk tur! Vært der tre ganger, men aldri om jeg setter meg ved kanten! :)
Det var stille og rolig uten vind så det funket på et vis, hadde ikke satt meg dere dersom det blåste:-)
One of my top ten virtual hikes. The spectacular scenery is exceeded only by the Kaibab trail in the Grand Canyon. Numerous breathtaking sections. Thanks for posting this since there is zero chance I will ever get to hike this myself. Scenery 5++/5, Solitude 5++/5, Stable video 5/5
Thank you, appreciate it, I came out of the GC on the South Kaibab trail a few years ago, after walking for a week or so from the Salt Trail in the Little Colorado river, sadly I didnt film any of the trip
Such an incredible video . Your passion for the sheer beauty of nature spreads energy to so many others who are with you in spirit
wow
😊
@@NorwegianXplorer I just watched the video im from Philippines Bro Did u hike alone? it was a great View outhere i wish i had hike there
@@gibsonphilippines4901 Yes I hiked alone, thank you!
My legs are shaking just from watching...not so sure that I would make it up that one for sure...those views though are absolutely spectacular...so the next best thing to me being there is to watch you...thanks for the rush! Take care, stay safe, and hope you are looking forward to a great weekend...
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Wow, you made my toes curl when you were holding the camera over the edge. That is a stunning rock. Has anybody ever fallen off it?
Thanks Chad, its a pretty spectacular spot, I was lucky to have low winds so I could get out on the edge. I am sure there has been accidents out there, but I dont know of any specific ones. The area is very well known among base jumpers.
wow ,so beautiful what a blessing to have it for your self .thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching!
Was here in 2018 with my family, amazing powerful place! One of my lovely hikes!
It is beautiful, considering going at night next week again maybe.
@Norwegian Xplorer a good idea! I also want to go through this hike again, like Trolltunga and Kjeragbolten, now I often remember our trip to Norway... but unfortunately, given the actions taken by my country in Ukraine, I think this dream will not come true soon, I really want it to come soon peace.
awesome
Thanks!
Such a beautiful video. What time did you start the hike? It looks like you were there by yourself when you got to the Pulpit Rock.
Thank you, I may have started around 9am, it was a very empty day compared to how it usually is on a sunny day, but it was a weekday in the fall. I got lucky:-)
You definitely have an artist’s soul. Beautiful video, beautiful country!
Thank yoi Robin:-)
Very cool and beautiful hike. That part of Norway seems to be like the Sierras, all granite.
Yes, its an amazing place, more rounded than the Sierra though, polished by glaciers a long time ago
Absolutely amazing video! This brings back wonderful memories - I did Preikestolen a couple of years ago with some Norwegian friends as part of my 50th birthday present. Stunning scenery and wonderful people! Thank you for filming this! Tusen takk!! Dave, Northern Ireland.
Thanks Dave for watching!
@@NorwegianXplorer By the way - liked and subbed!
Thank you so much and welcome!
It's such a beautiful trail. The Nepalize are true crafts-people, and the autumn colors are stunning! What a fantastic hike. The fissure on Pulpit rock was indeed gnarly! That will be a pretty intense fall to the fjord below for sure. Eeek! Did you come across any wildlife in the area? Thanks so much for taking us along! :D
Thank you Deborah, didnt see any wildlife this time.
Thanks for taking me along on a beautiful hike!
My pleasure, thanks Rusty!
Tenho procurado vídeos sobre o Preikestolen aqui no CZcams, mas não achei um vídeo tão bom quanto esse! Tá de parabéns! 👏 Ganhou mais um inscrito no canal.
Thank you so much and welcome!
Loved the photography, the music and the gorgeous trail. Beautiful work and scenery.
Thank yo Chris, appreciate it!
Ever so beautiful!! Thank you from Canada 😉👍🇨🇦
Thank you so much Marian!
Very enjoyable but there is more exposure on that trail than I realized. Sure is an awesome Sherpa-built trail with some nice sections of landscape. Glad you captured your Norway 🇳🇴 hikes for us!
Hey Michael, you can avoid most of the exposure if you want to, the Sherpa trail is great and saves the terrain from all the erosion that would have happened on such a high use trail. Thanks for watching!
@@NorwegianXplorer can we anticipate more Norway videos?
@@mjjensenpix Yes, that I can guarantee you:-)
You're a very brave soul, thanks for the views.
Thanks Michael!
Amazing, as always. Feeling grateful for this gift! Thank you 🙏
Thank you:-)
Wow thanks for going there and making this wonderful videos 😍 I swear those are the best I have searched for Norway hi king videos and there aren’t a lot this good taped
Hey Melissa, thank you and welcome onboard:-)
That was a very beautifully inspiring video jarl. Incredible Trail getting up there. You have a very beautiful country my friend. Thank you for sharing and stay very safe out there😔
Thank you very much!
THANK SO MUCH IT IS REALLY MAGNIFICENT...
Thank you!
Thank you so much for posting this video, stunning scenery and excellent videography. I want to go as soon the pandemic settles down. Hopefully this year. Thanks again for the effort, a joy to watch👍
Thank you Nigel!
A breath taking video! And beautiful lens flare! Norway is such a wonderful beautiful country and you show it so well...much gratitude. One day I must come. And wishing you all the very best.
Thank you Ann, you really should come and visit, all the best to you too!
@@NorwegianXplorer Yes! I shall come as soon as I can...feeling inspired.
@@anndebaldo7381 Awesome!
That is amazing! Loved the shot of your shadow, so cool!
Thank you Andy!
Um dia eu chego aí! 😍
You should!
Amazing views - I feel like I am standing at the edge of the cliff! Norway is really beautiful.
Thanks, its a really awesome place, highly recommended!
Glorious ! Thank you.
Thanks for watching Cali🙏
Still gets me everytime. I use to work in Stavanger for almost 9 years and have been up on Preikestolen and Kjeragbolten multiple times. I really miss the Norwegian nature. But Sweden has is own charm to i guess :)
Sweden is great, Sarek?
@@NorwegianXplorer Unfortunately i ended up in the very south of Sweden :( I`ts not to bad though we have som nice lakes to kajak around, and some nice nature reserve parks. like Söderåsen nature park, and so on. But as soon as i have the time off i will take a trip to Sarek and Abisko i need to see som kind of mountains again.
Me too, the north is wonderful!
That's another great video, the destination tremendous even though the ledge walking brought up my acrophobia but I enjoyed it. Thanks for taking us places we cannot go ourselves. Looking forward to the next adventure.
Thank you Roula!
Breathtaking views 🤩
It really is!
Wow! Absolutely wonderful!
Pulpit Rock. Appears not to be the place for high winds though. Thanks for sharing another great video and happy holidays Jarl.
Thank you Jerry, not a place you would wanna be in high winds for sure! Happy holidays to you too Jerry!
Amazing place!
It really is!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing this iconic view and the trail in. Your view of trail gives perspective to the ease and difficulty of walk in. Enjoyed the quiet clear morning you brought us through. The fact that a new trail was made by sherpas made me think old trail was more demanding and perhaps environmentally not sustainable? Have had the opportunity to visit Norway twice but never here. Enjoy viewing through your eyes the area that we can only imagine. Thanks for bring us on the day.
Thank you so much! Yes there was a lot of erosion so the new was a good choice, it gets very wet and muddy in the area a lot of the time.
Amazing! Congrats!!
Thank you!
Breathtaking🙏
Thanks Allan!
Great hiker amazing places
Thank you!
Amazing video. Looks like a great place to explore.
It is thank you!
Amazing views. Keep up the good videos!!!
Thank you so much David, will do!
Wauw, wauw, wauw 😍. Thank you for giving us the feeling of being on this hike with you. It make us dream and hope one day we will be able to do this ourselves. In the same conditions, beautiful sunny day and nooo people 😉. Well done! Looking forward to your next Norwegian adventure! Stay save. Ha det bra. Tina og Pieter fra Belgia.
Thank you Tina & Pieter!
What a wonderfully built trail. Just incredible there. Certainly on my list for next summer. Lucky to have the place to yourself
Yes, I waited a while for a day like this, hoping to get back when there is snow this winter. Def a place you should visit!
I’m glad to see you found a day with beautiful weather and few or no people out on the rock. I’ve often thought that preikstolen should be renamed peoples rock since there are usually so many people on it. Those Sherpas did a beautiful job on the trail as they have in so many places in Norway. If you ever see them there please send them to Arizona as we need help with our trails.
It can be pretty crowded on the weekends yes, hoping to find a day to get out there in snow this winter, that would be awesome!
@@NorwegianXplorer Yes, there’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing. Keep following those red T’s to more Norwegian nature and beauty!
True:-)
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 thank you
You are so welcome!
how long for a beginner hiker would it take us to the top? Dont mind stopping along the way. Just want to see the view. Awesome video. Thank you!
It is a great beginner hike, maybe a couple og hours or 3.
What an awesome video. Thanks so much for this. I will be there in July 2021 and I really hope that we can travel to Norway due to the Covid situation then. I have to say that I am a little bit afraid that this tour might be too difficult for us "newbie hikers" but it is still one of my childhood dreams to stand up there. Stay safe!
Thanks Thorsten, I dont think you will find it difficult, you can always turn back:-)
@@NorwegianXplorer Never ! :-)
@@thorsten9565 Haha, great spirit!
Stunning scenery! I learned that I’ve been mispronouncing fjord my entire life.
Haha, how would you pronounce it?
Kind of like fee-yoord. Sounds more like fee-yo or fee-yode when you pronounce it.
@@LayneComfort I think Fee-yoord is the correct way in English, and fee-yo(r) is the Norwegian way:-)
Tolles Video, aber ich finde das Video auch gut wenn man kein Risiko eingeht und sich so nah an die Kante setzt ...nur wegen der Bilder😉
Lots of guts 👍
Thank you!
Amazing video. Excuse me sir, may I be wondering which camera you used for this video? forgive my bad English.
Thank you, this was filmed with a gopro hero 9 and an iphone 11 pro max
@@NorwegianXplorer Thank you for answering me, you have been very kind.i have been in 2018 in Norway.but only my SONS got on pulpit rock.one of them is Norwegian and lives in Tau.
Ah, thats very close, I grew up on Tau, many years ago! Thanks for watching!
That looked dangerous. I was there in 2020 aswell but I did not take so many risks. A person died in the days I was there. But anyways you made a good video (as allways) BR Jens
Thank you Jens!
Amazing views and my wife and I are telling you to get AWAY FROM THE EDGE YOU ARE TOOO CLOSE!!!
We really enjoy your videos
Thanks again
Hahaha, thanks for watching, I will not get close to the edge in high winds:-)
👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 From Costa Rica 🇨🇷. We are going to priekestolen on June 2021. ¿What time you did the Walk? Because of the way the sun was. VERY GOOD vid. Thanks 👍🏻
Thank you, just follow the trail:-)
@@NorwegianXplorer 🤔🤔🤔it means that no matter what time of the day the sun will shows the same way that I can see on your video???
This was in October, so the sun is pretty low, dont remember the time of the day but prob around noon
@@NorwegianXplorer Ready 👍🏻 thanks a lot!!!
Enjoy! Its an amazing hike!
Stunning day!! You had the place all to yourself .. ……does the boat not go from Stavanger to Tau’ in November, I done Pulpit 3 years back in October loved it very special to have it to yourself ✌️🙏
What time did you start your hike , and when did you start your descent ?
Hey Thomas, the boat has been replaced by the tunnel, it was finished in the spring and you can drive fast and easy to the trailhead:-)
Wow that’s great ✌️✌️👍
@@shinertom142 Yes, it much easier, but there will be a toll on the road soon i guess
Fantastic views, thank you for this video! Do you remember the time of day of this recording? I am planning to visit in about 2 weeks and I really like the light you experienced. I was wondering what time it was.
Not really sure, I am thinking I was at the summit around noon based on where the sun is in the sky
@@NorwegianXplorer Thanks, I hope I make it back down before dusk :)
@@adamkwiatek318 You will, its not that far
Hi, you are great . We want to do this trail mid to end October . Prepared including with Inreach and weather checks. Any reason to not go or can we start and maximum go back? Please advise.
Should be no problem in October, find a day with sun on the forecast
Great hike! Too bad I didn't come here when I visited Norway a few years ago, because I relied on public transportation only. Do you think this is doable without a car?
Thanks, yes, I believe you would be able to get to the trailhead with some kind of public transportation, not sure about the details though.
I haven't finished watching yet, but around the 17 minute mark, what are all the locks on the fence for?
Its just stupid tourist stuff, the same people who put up cairns on every beach in Norway
Mission impossible Fallout is partly filmed on the Pulpit Rock. Tom Cruise makes some amazing stunts on the rock. Experience the rock in the movie and in real life.
👍
I have a dream
How long does the hike up take? How strenuous is it?
I would say a 3 hours, not very strenous, but I guess it depends, there is some elevation gain
you should have brought your fishing pole with 2000ft of line, then cooked it up there with the best dinner view EVER!!
Lol!
👍😍🚶🏼
🙏
I use to think it's an overrated attractions.... but it's actually amazing
Same, it had been many years and I was blown away coming back this time
Jarl dangling 3 extremities over the edge while using his remaining hand to hold his camera just after explaining how he wouldn’t want to be here when the inevitable crack severs that edge of the cliff off plunging it thousands of feet into the fjord.
Hahaha, point taken, I dont think its gonna fall of quite yet though:-)
Your next video TROLLTUNGA!!!
Haha, maybe!
The scenery is splendid, magnificent, overwhelming. However, sitting on the top of the rock, walking on the extreme edges, just to have a beautiful picture, is an unnecessary exposure of your life, it 's defying, threathening death. Only one wrong step is sufficient ........!
Really, thanks for letting me know🤷♂️
Hi, how are you?
: November is going to pass and December will be December. It's winter. I hope health and good things will be together this week. ^O^
Thanks the same, looking forward to winter!
Hi, it was in which month?
I dont remember really
@@NorwegianXplorer okay but which month there will be less crowd?
Weekdays in the fall or spring, summer it is packed every day
I ran out of words,don't know where n how to begin my description
I hope in a positive way!
WHY ON THE EDGE OF THE ROCK ? IT WAS SO FRIGHTENING TO SEE IT EVEN ON A VIDEO .
Why not? there was no wind to speak of
