Excursions from Stavanger
Lysefjorden
Within easy striking distance of Stavanger is some of Norway’s wildest scenery with a string of pencil-thin fjords jagging deep into the interior framed and flanked by mighty mountain peaks. The star turn here is the 42km-long (26m) Lysefjord, which can be visited on regular boat trips between June and September.

Preikestolen
More energetic visitors can also view the Lysefjord from the top of Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock). Its summit is a square and flat plateau 600m (1,968ft) above the fjord. Preikestolen is a relatively easy, two-hour hike each way from the nearest bus stop.
