Preikestolen Norway with children – Our hike on Preikestolen and tips
Activities: We hiked to Preikestolen, also known as Pulpit Rock. The hike started with a steep climb through the forest, then continued over stone steps. We enjoyed the views of the Lysefjord and saw people from all over the world. We took a break for lunch at the Preikestolen Hütte before starting the hike
Highlights: The view from the top of the Preikestolen was amazing! We loved observing the boats in the water below and the changing clouds. The last kilometer was the most beautiful. We also loved that we could see the wild fjord landscape ✨
