On the Edge of Pulpit Rock

I’m getting vertigo just by looking at this. Preikestolen, known in English as Preacher’s Pulpit or Pulpit Rock, a 604 meters cliff in Norway is one of the best places in the country to get a view of the valley, Lysefjorden. The major attraction is the top of the cliff, a 25 by 25 meters square and flat surface, visited by thousands of tourists every year. Here’s how it looks from the top!

I went up Preikestolen back in June 2006 as part of a school trip to Norway. These pictures just don’t do it justice — you’ve gotta be there to really get the feeling of how high up this thing really is. And it’s a bit of a hike (4 km, if I recall?) to get from the closest roadway to the top, over which the not-well-marked path transcends all types of landscape.
