Preacher’s Pulpit, Norway
From series “The World's Highest Observation Decks”
An observation deck with an unusual name 'Preacher's Pulpit' is a unique structure created by nature, absolutely no effort was made by man. The point is a natural cliff 604 meters in height located above the Lysefjord. The huge stone platform has an almost perfect square shape with a side of 25 meters; in appearance resembles a really huge pulpit. This natural observation deck offers a gorgeous panoramic view of the fjord, the nearby Kjerag plateau and other amazing attractions of Forsann.
It should be noted that to get to the observation deck you can only walk along the path running around incredibly beautiful and quite challenging places. The length of path from the last car parking to the site is no more than 4 kilometers; it'll take about two hours to overcome it. Rock-chair certainly appeals to fans of thrills; it isn't fenced at all and is covered with quite large cracks, because of which it seems that the rock could collapse at any minute.
