Short Trip in Norway-Preikestolen
Hi there,
Let’s talk about something fun this week! I visited Stavanger in Norway last weekend for three days. I went hiking at Preikestolen, one of Norway’s three famous rock formations.

You might ask, what are Norway’s three famous rock formations? They are Trolltunga, Preikestolen, and Kjeragbolten. Preikestolen has become famous recently because of the movie Mission Impossible 6, where Tom Cruise has a cliff-side showdown in the film.
Preikestolen is a massive rock, suspended 604 meters in the air, overlooking the Lysefjord. It’s incredibly majestic and beautiful.
It takes about 4.5 hours to go from the visitor center at the bottom of the mountain to Preikestolen and back. However, this hike was exhausting for me. The entire hike was essentially walking between rocks of various sizes. I wore professional hiking shoes, thinking it would be easier. But to my dismay, I found myself panting and regretting even coming.
When I was just 30 meters from the finish line, I stopped. The wind was too strong, and it started raining. I worried that if I continued, it might be dangerous for my life. To prove that I had been there, I hold a rock with the famous photo spot in the background. Do you think I completed the hike this way?
Let’s chat about hiking and Norwegian food next time!
I was so scared to be honest.
The people who were standing there was the most famous part to get pictures.
This scenery is beautiful yet frightening.
