Skip Preikestolen and visit Flørli INSTEAD? Lysefjord NORWAY

The most popular options for visiting Lysefjord (and hike to the Preikestolen Instagram spot) is either a daytrip from Stavanger as part of an organized tour or a self-drive to Preikestolen parking lot. During the peak summer season Preikestolen hiking trail can receive between 3,500 and 6,000 visitors and it's not uncommon for hikers to arrive as early as 4 am to be ready to tackle the 4-5 hour hike. We didn't do any of the above. ????
The hike itself is described as 'moderately difficult' and with literally thousands of people on the trail, there is no way that Lisa would be comfortable enough to overcome her acrophobia (fear of heights). The idea of queueing to a nature spot also sounds horrible!
Alas, we also had our leaky rear brakes to worry about and we opted to make our way to Lauvvik from where we could take the Kolumbus ferry into Lysefjord as far as Flørli. (https://www.florli.no/)
Flørli is popular for its 4444 steps right up the mountain – the longest wooden stairway in the world.
