Norway, located in Northern Europe, is one of the countries that attracts travellers with its distinctive natural scenery and beautiful landscapes. In this Scandinavian country, visitors are fascinated not only by polar nights and ancient glaciers but also by mountain ranges and unusual rock formations. One of the best-known natural landmarks shaped by glacial melting and other natural processes is the rock formation known as “Troll’s Tongue” (Trolltunga).

Having become particularly popular among tourists after 2010, this natural landmark is situated at an altitude of approximately 1,180 metres above sea level. Its distinctive appearance comes from a rock ledge that extends out over the surrounding rocky mountains. Below the formation lies Lake Ringedalsvatnet, renowned for its picturesque natural surroundings.

To reach “Troll’s Tongue”, visitors need to hike several kilometres along the mountain ridges of Skjeggedal. The excursion usually takes 10–12 hours. For this reason, tourists need to prepare for the hike in advance. The number of visitors to this natural landmark increases considerably during the summer and autumn seasons.

The nearest settlements to Trolltunga include the town of Odda and the village of Skjeggedal. The remarkable natural scenery of the Skjeggedal mountains, lakes nestled among the rocks and mountain peaks reaching heights of up to 1,500 metres further enhance the beauty of this region.
