Norway is considered a must-visit destination by many travelers, with its jaw-dropping fjords and glacial landscapes that never fail to amaze. The best way to truly appreciate this country’s grandeur is through hiking, and among the most unforgettable hikes are the so-called “Three Wonders of Norway”: Kjeragbolten (Wonder Rock), Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock), and Trolltunga (Troll’s Tongue).

● Wonder Rock (Kjeragbolten / Kjerag)
Wonder Rock is located on Kjerag Mountain in southern Norway (also known as Kiragg), where it has been wedged between two mountain peaks at an altitude of 984 meters for ages. It’s nothing short of a miracle of nature, and standing on it is an incredibly thrilling experience. In addition, Kjerag offers another must-try adrenaline rush: base jumping, which has attracted tens of thousands of thrill-seekers since 1994.

● Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen / Pulpit Rock)
Also known as Preacher’s Rock, Pulpit Rock is located near Forsand in the Ryfylke district of Rogaland County in southwestern Norway. This cliff rises 604 meters above the Lysefjorden (Lyse Fjord) and faces Kjerag Mountain. Its flat, roughly 600-square-meter plateau resembles a pulpit, offering expansive views that make it one of the best spots to take in the beauty of the Lysefjorden.
