STAGE 8
Preikestolen Parking – Høllesliheia

This hike will take your breath away! The trail runs close along the fjord 75% of the time. After passing beautiful Revsvatnet and a dense forest, you’ll reach the Lysefjord. Here, the path winds hundreds of meters above sea level, along several mountain cliffs and gorges, including Skjerajuvet and Fantahålå, and through mighty nature past countless panoramic viewpoints. If you pay close attention, you will find the rather unique “Fantapytten” – the Lysefjord’s own ‘infinity pool’.

In 2024 and 2025, feedback has shown that international Lysefjord Rundt hikers found this stage the most beautiful.

We recommend to hike the Lysefjorden Rundt Trail anti-clockwise. However, it is possible to hike this stage in both directions.

笔记 If you are planning to hike this stage as a day trip only, we actually recommend hiking from west to east, to get the best views. The gentle, long slopes also run down eastwards (they will feel like long uphills hiking westwards), and the steep slopes run up eastwards (they are somewhat exposed when hiking westwards/down). Check 吕瑟峡湾全景步道 for a west-to-east description.
