Introduction
The Lysefjord, meaning the fjord of light, is a deep, spectacular fjord in southwest Norway, famed for Preikestolen (the Pulpit Rock) and Kjeragbolten (the Boulder). It reaches about 40 km inland, with tall, smooth granite cliffs, deep, quiet water that often shimmers in sunlight. Cruising, you look up at Preikestolen on the cliff top, and waterfalls, hillside farms and seabirds, a unique and stunning view. The fjord's grandeur and tranquility blend perfectly. Cruising the Lysefjord at leisure, seeing it from another angle, is an unmissable, charming Stavanger experience.
