Pickup offered
Offered in: Norwegian and 1 more

This is the perfect trip for nature lovers, photographers, and experienced hikers hoping to avoid the busier main tourist path and take time to focus on a deeper immersion into nature.

The hike starts with a short, steep climb from the car park before we detour into a rarely used hidden trail that winds its way through the forests, mountains, and lakes. As we hike, your guide will take time to highlight and sample different species of plants, berries, mosses, and lichens, and provide insights into local fauna and cultural heritage.

The final section of the hike culminates in a mountain top with spectacular views of Stavanger, the Lysefjorden and Preikestolen from above - views not seen by the majority of hikers! After enjoying these views, we descend down to the Pulpit Rock to enjoy peering into the fjord below. After a relaxing break here, we choose our preferred return route back to the trailhead.

Can be adapted to suit cruise shore excursions.
