It is an extraordinary granite rock formation left after the ice age 10000 years ago. The top is 604 metres (1982 feet) above the calm blue water of the Lysefjord below. The walk from the car park took us about an hour and a half each way and is 4 kilometres to the top. It is a significant climb over rocky and boggy ground. There are no fences, no safety barriers………….just scared people!
Would you be comfortable sat up here?
“It’s MY rock now!"
“Err……..it’s a long way down!"
Can you spot Grahame in the photo?
“Where did all these people come from?"
Oh yes…………. a Pulpit Phoon!
As well as the fear factor the views are amazing……..
and scary!
Where’s Kate?
Just another cheeky phoon for good measure…..
Look at the dude on the end……...
just one slip…….and it’s goodnight Vienna!
another view….
This was one the other side of the rock on the way back down
We really enjoyed our trip to the Pulpit rock. It was another ‘Norway Magic’ adventure. After this we drove to Stavanger to take the overnight ferry to Denmark. We are now on the way home via Denmark, Germany and Holland (maybe even Belgium and France if we get reckless!)
