A boulder wedged in a chasm ~1,000 m above the Lysefjord, reached over three chained climbs.

Why it's loved. The community's pick over Preikestolen, fewer people and a more dramatic photo.

Skip the crowds. This is the quieter alternative to Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock), same kind of reward, far fewer people.
