Near Stavanger, Norway there is a mysterious rock called Preikestolen, or "The Pulpit Rock", that rises 600 meters above Lysefjorden fjord. It is a popular tourist attraction in the area. To reach the top of Preikestolen involves a nearly 2 hour hike up 600 meters on well-marked trails. The hike requires proper hiking shoes and physical fitness. The views from the top of the rock plateau are breathtaking, but those suffering from vertigo should be careful not to look down off the edge. Nearby is another attraction called "The Mortised Boulder" that is also worth visiting.
