Trolltunga, Hordaland, Norway
Trolltunga — translating to ‘The Troll’s Tongue‘ — is a massive horizontal cliff towering 2,300 ft above Lake Ringedalsvatnet outside Odda, in Hordaland county. Along with The Pulpit Rock and Kjerag, it’s probably the most spectacular place to hike to in Norway. If you’re brave enough, imagine how much fun you could have taking all sorts of edgy (literally) photos! It’s sure to get your adrenaline running, both at the time, and when you show others your holiday souvenir snaps later.
This particular cliff was formed during the last ice age, about 10,000 years ago. At that time, the surrounding ice reached all the way to the top of the cliff. Melting water from the ice ran into the crevices in the mountain, froze, and eventually broke off large boulders, giving the cliff it’s distinct shape.
