The Pulpit Rock is located in Ryfylke, a county in Western Norway. It is one of the most intense tourist attractions. The natural rock formation with a 25 meter squared plateau stands 604 meters above the sea.
“Hyvlatonnå” which is the actual name of the rock formation means the tooth of a wood plane. The present name could have its origin because of its shape or due to its image of a place of endurance.
The tower mountain plateau was probably formed by melting frost 10,000 years ago. Visitors can enjoy the wild and beautiful nature right up to the Pulpit Rock on a fantastic hike, from the Pulpit cabin.
