Highlights

Lysefjord
Lysefjorden is the southernmost fjord in Norway. End to end, it measures 42 kilometers with rocky walls falling nearly vertically over 1,000 meters (3,3000 ft) into the water. The name means light fjord and is said to be derived from the lightly colored granite rocks along its sides. The fjord is narrow and deep. Just below Preikestolen is its deepest point dropping to a depth of over 400 meters (1,300 ft).
Preikestolen (the Pulpit Rock)
Preikestolen or Prekestolen ("The Pulpit Rock", "Pulpit" or "Preacher’s Chair") is a tourist attraction in the municipality of Strand in Rogaland county, Norway. Preikestolen is a steep cliff that rises 604 meters (1,982 ft) above the Lysefjorden. Atop the cliff, there is an almost flat top of approximately 25 by 25 meters (82 ft × 82 ft). Preikestolen is located near the Western part of the fjord and on its Northside. Tourism at the site has been increasing in the early 21st century, with between 150,000 and 200,000 visitors in 2012, making it one of the most visited natural tourist attractions in Norway. Due to its increased popularity, there is currently a project underway to improve the most used path to the site - a 3.8-kilometer-long hike.
Ryfast sub-sea tunnel
Just outside Stavanger you will pass through the longest undersea road tunnel in the world. The tunnel system is brand new replacing the old ferry that used to traffic between Stavanger and Tau on the way to Preikestolen. It is 14,3 kilometres long, which puts it well ahead of its predecessor, the Tokyo Bay Tunnel in Japan (9583 m.)
Stavanger
The city of natural highs, surrounded by beautiful fjords, mountains, and long, white beaches, Stavanger and Sandnes also boasts an impressive assortment of museums and cultural events. Famed for its many natural attractions and old wooden houses, the Stavanger region is on the radar of nearly every visitor to Norway. Here, you can explore scenic landmarks such as the Lysefjord, Sola beach, and the famous cliff Preikestolen (The Pulpit Rock). Stavanger is both a university city and Europe’s oil and energy capital. Many different nationalities are attracted to the region, making it a highly international destination. This is all reflected in Stavanger’s urban and lively atmosphere, with cutting-edge food menus and a booming cultural scene. Though Stavanger is an ever-evolving city, the city’s proud history shines through. Old Stavanger has Europe’s best preserved wooden house settlement with more than 170 white wooden houses.
