Norge - Noreg - Norway Rogaland Lysefjorden - Look up at the pulpit

Lysefjorden is the first of many fjords along the west coast of Norway. It is 40 km long and the trip to Lysebotn at the end of the fjord will give you a breathtaking view of the Norwegian fjord/mountain sceneries that is so well know in this part of the country. On this first page I take you on the boattrip that is operated all summer from Stavanger, along the many nice islands, under the impressive Høgsfjord brige and into the Lysefjord. The various interesting spots along the fjord is pointed out by the captain, and he also gives interesting historic facts to several stops along the trip. On the next page we reach the Pulpit, and continue further into the fjord.

We put Stavanger behind us

and look at the small islands and coastline with many summerhouses
Rising mountains ahead

The ferry crosses the fjord	Landscape for farming	Strange formation
Here start the Lysefjord, with the crossing bridge

When we get into the fjord the mountains get taller and wilder
And we get to know about 'Svartahålå'

More facinating formations - and we are getting closer to the Pulpit
