How to get to Preikestolen

Preikestolen, perhaps Norway's most iconic viewpoint, is located in Ryfylke, Rogaland. The easiest route is via Stavanger and Riksvei 13 (Rv 13), with good access through the Ryfast tunnel - about 40 minutes by car from Stavanger city centre.
Alternatively, you can take the Lauvvik-Oanes ferry, which requires some planning due to fewer departures. The trip starts from the car park at Preikestolen Fjellstue and usually takes 3-4 hours round trip.

Parking challenges and public transport alternatives

The premises: only 1,000 car spaces and 20 bus spaces at the starting point. With continued strong growth in visitor numbers (new 54 % - 163 % increase by 2050), there are clear limitations for car traffic. Therefore, public transport solutions, such as buses, are becoming increasingly relevant.
