Travel Highlights - Lysefjord

Lysefjor Fjord Cruise and Hike to the Famous Preikestolen

The Lysefjorden (Norwegian: Lysefjorden) is a fjord located in southwestern Norway, in the town of Forsand in Rogaland County, approximately 25 kilometers east of Stavanger. With a nearly vertical drop of over 1,000 meters from the rock to the water, it stretches 42 kilometers and is a popular tourist attraction in Norway. The best time to visit the Lysefjorden is generally between June and September, when the sunshine is long, the temperatures are relatively warm, the snow on the mountains melts, the vegetation flourishes, and the winds are relatively light, making it the perfect time to enjoy the fjord's scenery. The most convenient way to explore the Lysefjord is to take the ferry from Stavanger's Fiskepiren Ferry Terminal to Tau (peak season, mid-April to September, with 12 departures daily from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday to Friday, and 10-11 departures on Saturdays and Sundays). First, explore the fjord, taking in sights like Preikestolen Rock and Henjahn Waterfall. On the return trip, the ferry stops at Oanes, where visitors can climb Preikestolen Rock and follow the official hiking route to its summit for breathtaking views of the fjord. The round-trip hike takes about four hours. Afterward, take a bus to Tau, where you can board the ferry back to Stavanger for around 450 kroner.

Leaving the port, the sun came out with some clouds at first, but there were also some dark clouds. The port was very beautiful and the weather was good.

We will take the same type of electric cruise

Start entering the fjord

The elderly couple was enjoying the beautiful scenery of the fjord very much. The wife, in particular, closed her eyes and basked in the sun, with a look of ease, enjoyment and satisfaction on her face. It was truly a beautiful sight!

Lysefjord Bridge is a road bridge and if you have an interest in engineering you will appreciate the slender tension of its construction and the position of its construction.

The biggest difference between Lysefjord and Sognefjord is that the coasts of the fjord here are mainly rocky, which is relatively tough, while Sognefjord is soft and elegant. The two have completely different flavors.

Vagabond Cave and tell you the legend of this mysterious cave

Our journey from Stavanger to Preikestolen (also known as Pulpit Rock) offers breathtaking views of waterfalls, mountaintops, wildlife, and last but not least, the majestic Preikestolen, towering 604 meters above the fjord.

The Pulpit Tower is 604 meters high, and Taipei 101 is 508 meters high.

The cruise carefully pushes the bow of the ship towards Hengjane Waterfall, where you can feel the spray of the mountain water.

After seeing the waterfall, our fjord cruise will end, and those who have signed up to walk up Pulpit Rock will get off the boat. They will arrange a bus to take us to prepare to climb the rock.

Lysefjord is so beautiful. I raise my hands to thank and praise God.
