Lysefjord, Norway

Lysefjord is a fjord located in Forsand in south-western Norway. End to end, it measures 42 km (23 miles) with rocky walls falling nearly vertically over 1000 m (3,000 ft) into the water. There has two villages on its length - Forsand and Lysebotn, located at opposite ends of the fjord.

Lysefjord is an extremely popular tourist attraction and day trip from nearby Stavanger. As well as the extraordinary scenery of the fjord itself, two points along its length are popular side trips. The rock of Preikestolen, located above a vertical drop of 600 meters, can be seen from the fjord, but is more impressive from above. At the end of the fjord lies the Kjerag mountain, a popular hiking destination with even more spectacular drops.
