Should you hike Preikestoken? Norway Highlights
The most popular options for visiting Lysefjord (and hike to the Preikestolen Instagram spot) is either a daytrip from Stavanger as part of an organized tour or a self-drive to Preikestolen parking lot. During the peak summer season Preikestolen hiking trail can receive between 3,500 and 6,000 visitors and it's not uncommon for hikers to arrive as early as 4 am to be ready to tackle the 4-5 hour hike. We didn't do any of the above. 😋
The hike itself is described as 'moderately difficult' and with literally thousands of people on the trail, there is no way that Lisa would be comfortable enough to overcome her acrophobia (fear of heights). The idea of queueing to a nature spot also sounds horrible!
Alas, we also had our leaky rear brakes to worry about and we opted to make our way to Lauvvik from where we could take the Kolumbus ferry into Lysefjord as far as Flørli. (www.florli.no/)
Flørli is popular for its 4444 steps right up the mountain - the longest wooden stairway in the world.

"We're going to take a nice drive in the general direction of somewhere". Lol, I love Andre's humour. This reminded of that Farside sketch where the map region says NOWHERE and the road sign says: 'you are now approaching the middle'.
Well done Lisa for challenging yourself with those stairs👏
You visit excelentt places there are many beautiful places in Turkey I recommend it 👌
Love how you two keep it real. Very brave and vulnerable of Lisa to show her fear in this video. From another person who is afraid of heights...Do it afraid! Love your adventures and can't wait to do it ourselves one day.
Oof that was a lot of steps and stairs there! Well played guys, loving the vid and nice to see something different in Norway than what we have been doing 🇳🇴😁
The pretty purple flowers are poisonous, so they are left alone. I really like your take on visiting hikes and the like. The lesser known paths can be just as, if not more enjoyable than the popular ones.
Drive to North Norway and visit the Lyngen area :)
