How to get to Preikestolen

There are many ways to get to Pulpit Rock. You may go by bus, boat as well as in your own car.

There are buses leaving from Tau to Preikestolen mountain lodge on a daily basis while in season. These correspond with the ferry leaving from Fiskespirterminalen in Stavanger (from April through September). The rest of the year, the bus stops at Jørpeland. From there you can go by taxi to Preikestolen mountain lodge (9 km), which is the starting point for the hike.

If you drive your own car, find your way to Lauvvik wharf (RV 13) and go by ferry to Oanes. Continue on RV 13 to Jøssang and follow signs to Pulpit Rock. Another possibility is to go by ferry to Tau and then follow RV 13 via Jørpeland.

However, you can also go by boat, experiencing the unique combination of views to Pulpit Rock from the fjord! A combined boat, bus and hiking trip lasts about eight hours. Rødne offer daily trips from Skagenkaien in Stavanger in June, July and August.
