Day 5 Sognefjord in a Nutshell

Another day another amazing spectacular journey, this time departing Bergen by water. Take a leisurely cruise along Norway’s largest fjord – Sognafjord back to Flam.

Day 7 Lysefjord Cruise and Hike to Pulpit Rock

Make sure your camera batteries are charged for today, as the views really will be spectacular! In the morning enjoy a silent cruise along the beautiful Lysefjord. You’ll pass Pulpit Rock and you can strain your neck looking up the steep rock wall, famous from Tom Cruise scaling it in a Mission Impossible film. Pass the mighty Hengifoss waterfall before hopping off and taking a short bus ride to the Preikestolen Cabin to collect your packed lunch. Then it’s off, following the well-marked, and moderate trail up to Pulpit Rock itself. The hike is around two-hours each way, through bogs, and forest, but the views from the top are second to none. Once you have returned to the cabin, you return to Stavanger by bus via the world’s longest underwater tunnel. Dinner tonight will certainly be well earned! (Overnight Stavanger)
