    Hmm, while it looks like the Geiranger-Fjord (Seven Sisters waterfall in the background). Prekestolen is at a different Fjord: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prekestolen

    This is definitely the Geiranger fjord, but I think the korrekt name is Preikestolen which means pulpit in english.

  4. Christian Sesseng (49 months ago | reply)

    Preikestolen is in Lysefjord.

    Yes, there is a famous rockformation called Preikestolen in Lysefjord as well, but this one has the same name but is in Geiranger fjord.
    As mentioned in this link.

    I'm guessing it was called Prækestolen at that time.

    It's called Preikestolen in Norwegian, the Pulpit Rock in English. Located in Forsand kommune, Rogaland, above Lysefjorden. I love these pictures!
