This is an itinerary for the active hiker who wants to combine ticking off the highlights with a fjord cruise through the entire Lysefjord. It is technically possible to visit Preikestolen, Kjerag and Flørli i 3 consecutive days, but remember these are not walks in the park! We therefore highly recommend spending a bit more time in and around the Lysefjord; to wind down, explore other trails, or engage in other activities. Ideally, you should use at least 5 days on this itinerary.
