Pulpit Rock, or Preikestolen, is located near Stavanger, Norway, about 208 km or 4 1/2 hours south of Bergen. Not for those with acrophobia as it rises 604 m above Lysefjord, but if you don't mind heights, the view is incredible. If you are considering a visit to the rock, Stavanger Travel has a nice description of the two hour hike to get there.

It's a wonderful place.

And well worth setting out very early in the morning. It's about a one and a half hour trek from the road

Awesome! I was just looking at a picture of Pulpit Rock in the Seattle-PI and was doing a MSN Search and found your blog. Very nice. Matt
