Moorland section of the Preikestolen Trail

Highlight • Trail

The area next to the trail is mostly boggy. So staying on the trail is highly recommended. The wooden footbridge bridges the moor and there are more "moor puddles" at the top of the lakes.

The ascent and descent each take a good 2 hours. You should definitely have sturdy shoes and rainwear with you. There is WiFi at the parking lot ;-) and you can buy food and find a toilet.

It had rained the day before and the trails were still passable. The required level is simply a correct physical condition, children possible but a bit long. The last stage was overloaded with tourists coming from Costa cruise. A bit heavy because some did not have the physique for so many steps. The path of the return loop to the …

The night ended at 4:51 am...which means night here - the twilight of evening and morning...merge into one another.
After a hearty Sherpa breakfast, we left camp at 5:45 am. The first 5 kilometers and 200 vertical meters were covered in 15 minutes.
At 6:00 a.m. we started from Preikestol Basecamp on the 4 km long hiking trail...

We left the VAUDE PREKASTOLEN MONTAIN CAMP early at 5:30 a.m. at 4°C. At Prekastolen Base Camp, I led hundreds of people safely up Preikastolen as a Prekastolen hiking guide. They were then allowed to descend independently. We dismounted unscathed and rolled the last few kilometers downhill. That's probably what the e-bike 🚵‍♂️🚵‍♂️ feeling is like. Because these riders always …

The rock 🪨 that you have to see. The hike to Preikestolen takes a good 5 hours, there and back.
Everything a hiker's heart desires. Rock steps, wooden walkway, moorland and people 😂
The hike to Preikestolen is very demanding and strenuous! Good hiking shoes and good fitness are essential for the climb. Some steep climbs, narrow paths and loose …

Cycle 4 km from the campsite, then hike 4 km.
A truly beautiful place on earth.
But you are never alone. You probably always walk in a caravan.
Back in reverse order.
