Pulpit Rock In Norway Will Take Your Breath Away
Translated to English, Preikestolen means pulpit rock. The name is more than accurate given the rock’s structure. It is jutting out of a mountain which makes it look like a raised pulpit. The rock is more than 600 metres in the air and hovers above the Lysefjorden. The caption of the video read “Preikestolen (English: Pulpit Rock) is a tourist attraction in Rogaland County, Norway. Preikestolen is a steep cliff that rises 604 metres (1,982 ft.) above Lysefjorden.” The surface of the rock is 25 metres long and the same in width. It is very reminiscent of the tablelands of Mahabaleshwar, only better.
This rock was featured in the iconic 2018 movie Mission Impossible – Fallout. The final fight scene featured Tom Cruise climbing a cliff which in the movie was supposed to be in Kashmir. The surrounding area is as beautiful as the rock itself. Towering mountains and deep valleys, the cliff offers a stunning view of all of them.
