TROLLTUNGA
Norway’s most spectacular rock formation
Trolltunga is one of the most scenic and spectacular cliffs in Norway, hovering 700 metres above Ringedalsvatnet lake. Situated at the western edge of the Hardangervidda plateau, near the town of Odda, Trolltunga was carved by the icecap that once covered most of Scandinavia.
The hike through high-mountain terrain up to Trolltunga (1180 m) is long and demanding, but you are rewarded with magnificent views.
From the main trailhead at P2 in Skjeggedal, the round-trip hike is 27 km with an ascent of almost 800 metres. The estimated hiking time is 8–12 hours.
There is an additional trailhead at P3 Mågelitopp. The round-trip hike from P3 Mågelitopp is 20 km with an ascent of about 320 metres. The estimated hiking time is 7–10 hours.
Hikers need to be properly equipped and in good shape.

I can't even remember when I first saw this place on the internet. What I know is that I've been dreaming of walking over this ledge ever since. Since we started the hike and I could see it with my own eyes, I know that not only the pictures from there are magical, but it enchants in real even more. Not without reason it attracts thousands of people every year to Trolltunga. The happier I was when we after days of hoping for good weather were finally on the way up. We started the hike late to meet as few people there as possible. Shortly before sunset we set up the tent nearby and headed back. We feared the worst, because even in the evening there were still many people on the road. Quickly over a ridge there it was, one of the most beautiful places in whole Norway. And it seemed as if no one had ever been there. It had been worthwhile to carry the 20kg on the back up the 15km trail to the top of the mountain. And here you see the exact moment when I was looking in 700m height away over the Ringedalsvatnet on the incredible mountain landscape of Norway. I will keep this moment in my heart for forever 🏔✨🧡

Local legends say that Trolltunga, or the Troll’s tounge in English, is a result of a Troll sticking its tounge out in the sun as he did not believe that he would turn to stone. Well, guess he was wrong 🤷🏽♂️
There are actually traces of Trolls all over Hardanger 🪨

Czy nawet w pięknym miejscu da się zrobić słabe zdjęcie? 🤔
👉 Dziś post z serii #onelifemobilnelekcje z przepięknego zachodu słońca na Trolltundze 🇧🇻
👉 Najważniejsze co chcielibyśmy pokazać, będąc w tym miejscu, to to, że ta skała jest zawieszona nad przepaścią - pokazać przestrzeń i ogrom tego miejsca. Jeśli jako fotografowie ustawimy się w złym miejscu i nasze kadrowanie będzie nieodpowiednie ( spójrzcie na drugie zdjęcie ) Nawet w tak pięknym miejscu w którym zdjęcia robią się same - nasze zdjęcie, może być po prostu słabe 👎 Przez złe kadrowanie, niewykorzystacie potenjciału miejsca i Wasze zdjęcie nie będzie robiło wrażenia.
Pamiętajcie ! Że to Wy robiąc zdjęcia, widzicie na ekranie telefonu, to co chcecie pokazać i od Was zależy w jaki sposób to pokażecie.
👉 Co myślicie o tych dwóch zdjęciach? Widzicie różnicę? To jest to samo miejsce pokazane z dwóch różnych perspektyw.
