Ryfylke, Rogaland
Two glaciers stopped here. What we call a viewpoint, they called an altar.
602 meters above Lysefjorden — and thousands of years of stories underfoot.
«Preikestolen was formed when two glaciers moved in opposite directions and cracked the mountain wall along natural lines of weakness. The square plateau is no accident — it's the result of ice forces at work for thousands of years. The Norse people considered this place sacred. They believed the plateau marked a boundary between the human and the divine world.»
Detta är en smakbit av vad EchoTrail skulle berätta för dig här. Autentiskt. Baserat på din exakta GPS-position.
Preikestolen stands 604 meters above Lysefjorden and measures roughly 25 by 25 meters. The site didn't become a popular destination until the 20th century, but it had been known and used by the local population of Ryfylke for generations.
There are accounts of people coming here to make important decisions — the site was regarded as a boundary point between the human and the divine world.
EchoTrail is triggered from the Preikestolen mountain lodge and along the trail — with stories about the mountain's geology, Norse mythology, and Lysefjorden's dramatic wartime history.
