Trolltunga is without a doubt, one of the most scenic and most famous rock formations in Norway. It is a spectacular cliff hovering 700 meters above Ringedalsvatnet lake. This cliff is located in the Hardangervidda National Park, surrounded by stunning mountains and fjords. Trolltunga means “Troll’s Tongue” in English, and we probably don’t have to tell you why it got this name. Every year, thousands of people from all over the world come to Trolltunga to take a picture with this iconic cliff.
