Here you have access to fresh water and garbage disposal, but no other services. The advantage, however, is that you are close to the Preikestolen parking lot (where you are not allowed to park overnight).<\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-135951499\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88752\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-1336424505 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-3488273938\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ullbadden.se\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-739216385\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/se.sun-living.com\/vans\/v-serien\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" aria-label=\"Small banner Sunliving\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Liten-banner-Sunliving.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider1336424505 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-1336424505\" );$freedslider1336424505.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" ); });$freedslider1336424505.unslider({ delay:4000, autoplay:true, nav:false, arrows:false, infinite:true });$freedslider1336424505.on(\"mouseover\", function() {$freedslider1336424505.unslider(\"stop\");}).on(\"mouseout\", function() {$freedslider1336424505.unslider(\"start\");});});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/batch_IMG_E7306-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-303721\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/batch_IMG_E7306-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/batch_IMG_E7306-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/batch_IMG_E7306-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/batch_IMG_E7306-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/batch_IMG_E7306-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/batch_IMG_E7306-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/batch_IMG_E7306-590x332.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/batch_IMG_E7306-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/batch_IMG_E7306.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tidig_morgon_vid_parkeringen\"><\/span>Early morning at the parking lot<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We had prepared to leave early, but we were still far from the first.

When we arrived just after 6:00 AM, we grabbed one of the very last camper van spots. If you arrive later? Yes, then you can park in Parking lot 2, from where there is also a path up towards the mountain, although it will be a bit longer. <\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg-2 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-93600095\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88753\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-536384266 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-1138740061\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elmia.se\/husvagn\/for-besokare\/biljetter\/?utm_source=freedomtravel&#038;utm_medium=banner&#038;utm_campaign=elmiahusvagn_kop_biljett_mars-sep\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_kop_biljett_588x158px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_kop_biljett_588x158px.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_kop_biljett_588x158px.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_kop_biljett_588x158px-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_kop_biljett_588x158px-224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_kop_biljett_588x158px-18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_kop_biljett_588x158px-433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-1000854218\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alko-tech.com\/sv_se\/fordonstyper\/produkter-foer-husbil\/stoedbenssystem\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"AL-KO support leg test\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/AL-KO-stodben-test.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/AL-KO-stodben-test.png 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/AL-KO-stodben-test-300x81.png 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/AL-KO-stodben-test-224x60.png 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/AL-KO-stodben-test-18x5.png 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/AL-KO-stodben-test-433x116.png 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider536384266 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-536384266\" );$freedslider536384266.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" ); });$freedslider536384266.unslider({ delay:4000, autoplay:true, nav:false, arrows:false, infinite:true });$freedslider536384266.on(\"mouseover\", function() {$freedslider536384266.unslider(\"stop\");}).on(\"mouseout\", function() {$freedslider536384266.unslider(\"start\");});});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/batch_IMG_E7311-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-303726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/batch_IMG_E7311-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/batch_IMG_E7311-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/batch_IMG_E7311-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/batch_IMG_E7311-224x126.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/batch_IMG_E7311-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/batch_IMG_E7311-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/batch_IMG_E7311-590x332.jpg 590w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/batch_IMG_E7311-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/batch_IMG_E7311.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We knew that the hike could be quite challenging for us, so we prepared ourselves thoroughly with practical hiking clothes and a big lunch bag with water, coffee, cookies and a pasta salad each.

The hike starts at Preikestolen BaseCamp, about 40 kilometers from Stavanger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Pulpit Rock famous for?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preikestolen is one of Norway&#039;s most iconic natural attractions. The almost flat cliff rises some 604 meters above the Lysefjord and offers one of the country&#039;s most spectacular views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you get to the Preikestolen?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people start from Stavanger and take a car or bus to the Pulpit Rock parking lot. It is also possible to combine ferry and bus if you are traveling by public transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long is the hike to Preikestolen?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hike is about 8 kilometers round trip. Most people need between 4 and 5 hours round trip, depending on pace, breaks and how much time you want to spend at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How difficult is the hike to Preikestolen?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hike is classified as medium difficulty. The path is well marked but contains many rocky sections, stairs and steep sections. A normal basic fitness level and sturdy shoes are recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When is the best time to visit Preikestolen?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most popular period is from May to October. To avoid the biggest crowds, it is best to start early in the morning or later in the afternoon, especially during the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you have to pay to hike to Preikestolen?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, the hike itself is free. However, there is a charge to park your car at the starting point, and the fee varies depending on the season and vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the hike to Preikestolen child-friendly?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, many children can do the hike, especially if they are used to walking in nature. Keep in mind that the trail is rocky and there are no railings up on the cliff, so children need to be supervised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are there railings on Preikestolen?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, there are no guardrails on the cliff ledge. Visitors are responsible for keeping a safe distance from the edge and taking extra care in wet or windy weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should you bring with you on the hike?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bring water, a packed lunch or snacks, clothing for the weather, and comfortable hiking shoes with good grip. The weather can change quickly, so a windbreaker or rain jacket is often a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you combine Preikestolen with other attractions?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, many people combine the hike with a boat trip on the Lysefjord, a visit to Stavanger or a trip along the spectacular Lysevegen. Kjerag, with the famous Kjeragbolten, is also a popular destination in the same region for those who want to experience more dramatic mountain landscapes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"freed-3459496018\" class=\"hide-label freed-after-content_2 freed-entity-placement method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><form method=\"post\" id=\"ft_newsletter_subscribe\" action=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2026\/08\/preikestolen\/\" class=\"ft-newsletter\" data-ajax-url=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-admin\/admin-ajax.php\" data-trp-original-action=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/2026\/08\/preikestolen\/\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"stage\" value=\"subscribe\" \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prenumerera_pa_vart_nyhetsbrev\"><\/span>Subscribe to our newsletter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"form-field\" data-missing=\"This field is required.\" data-invalid=\"Please enter a valid email address.\">\n<label for=\"ft_newsletter_email\">Email address<\/label>\n<input id=\"ft_newsletter_email\" name=\"ft_newsletter_email\" type=\"email\" value=\"\" placeholder=\"Enter your email address\" aria-required=\"true\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<input class=\"signup button newsletter-meta-button\" type=\"submit\"  name=\"subscribe\" value=\"Subscribe\">\n<div style=\"position: absolute; left: -4200px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ft-newsletter-protect\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"0395146d6c331d17da169b0663c234576bc97fa4\" tabindex=\"-1\" value=\"\"><\/div>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"trp-form-language\" value=\"en\"\/><\/form><\/div><div id=\"freed-1931642711\" class=\"hide-label freed-after-content_3 freed-entity-placement method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\" style=\"margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 35px;\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/en\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" aria-label=\"FREEDOMtravel Exit\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel.png\" alt=\"FREEDOMtravel Avslut\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-1024x341.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-768x256.png 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-224x75.png 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-600x200.png 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-18x6.png 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/FREEDOMtravel-433x144.png 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" width=\"1200\" height=\"400\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Text and photo: Helena Bergstr\u00f6m Both Preikestolen and Trolltunga attracted us, but after we read up on it thoroughly we realized that Trolltunga would be too tough.
