The Pulpit Rock & Norway in a nutshell® tour from Bergen is available as a round trip with return to Bergen. The tour requires overnight stays in Stavanger and Oslo, and you can add additional overnight stays en route according to your wishes.
You start your tour from Bergen traveling by express bus through contrasting scenery along the western coastline of Norway. Upon arrival in Stavanger an overnight stay is required.
Continuing from Stavanger you can either choose to go on a magnificent Lysefjorden cruice, or take a fjord cruise and a hiking trip to the spectacular Pulpit Rock. The Lysefjorden fjordcruise gives you the best views to the Pulpit Rock, which towers 604 meters above the fjord, while the hiking trip to the top of the Pulpit rock takes about two hours each way. Reaching the Pulpit Rock by foot gives you the opportunity to stand on top of the mighty mountain plateau and see the narrow Lysefjorden below.
After your Lysefjorden cruise or hiking trip you can spend an extra night in Stavanger and travel to Oslo with the Sørlandet Railway the the following day.
