This video from Preikestolen is part of the Lysefjord series. This area in south-western Norway serves as a superb hiking ground for numerous trips.
Audio: “IV. Notturno” from Lyric Pieces opus 54, composed by Edvard Grieg
You will in fact find two videos below from Preikestolen. They are part of Sandalsand’s “Around the Lysefjord” (“Lysefjorden Rundt”) playlist.
Lonely Planet published in 2011 “1000 Ultimate Sights”. On top of its list of “Most Breathtaking Viewing Platforms” comes the Pulpit Rock. Here is an extract:
“Sometimes it’s best to leave it to nature. While glass floors and skyscrapers can be impressive, in Norway, it’s a mighty lump of stone that offers the best outlook. Preikestolen — Pulpit Rock — looms 604m above Lysefjord, one of myriad incisions along Norway’s west coast. There are mountains aplenty hereabouts, but this summit seems built for purpose: its almost perfectly flat top juts out over the water (no safety barriers here), commanding uninterrupted, if vertiginous, views. Scarier still, peer down the cracks in Preikestolen’s surface — caused by 10,000 years of glacial action — and hope no new ones form just then…”
The video above has images mostly from 2003 and earlier. The one below has content from 2013.
You will find a number of videos from Norway and other countries on Sandalsand’s YouTube channel. As you can see from the link above, that’s where the original videos are. In addition they all appear in separate articles on this website. Find all videos from Norway.
