[2025 Ullensvang Attraction] Travel Guide for Trolltunga (Updated Apr)

Trolltunga is a rock formation situated about 1,100 metres above sea level in Ullensvang Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. The cliff juts horizontally out from the mountain, about 700 metres above the north side of the lake Ringedalsvatnet. Popularity of the hike to Trolltunga and rock formation itself has exploded in recent years. The increased popularity has turned Trolltunga into a national icon and a major tourist attraction for the region. Until 2010, fewer than 800 people hiked to Trolltunga each year. In 2016 more than 80,000 people hiked the 27-kilometre (17 mi) round-trip from the village of Skjeggedal, making it one of Norway's most popular hikes. #hiking

After walking for six hours, we finally arrived at trolltunga😍 Actually, troll is the giant in the legend of the Norwegian forest. It just so happens that this strange stone is protruding from the side of the mountain like his 👅 so there is the name of the devil's tongue Because it takes about 10-12 hours to walk we have to start leaving at 7 am At first there is a Z-shaped uphill to see some cars are able to go up and skip this uphill but we did not know there was this option 🤣 Although the temperature to go in early September is only 5-6 degrees, it will be even colder in the morning But my outfit is just a short sleeve tshirt with a thin down plus a windbreaker Also halfway through the Z section I had taken off my down jacket😂 Then every 1km there will be instructions to let you know how far you are from your destination Certain sections will be more gravel or have running water so be especially careful You have to queue up to take this photo when you get to trolltunga My place was like queuing for about 30 to 45 minutes The main thing is to test everyone's endurance and leg strength I still remember walking back down the hill at the end of the crazy downhill that really made my legs tremble🙈 #travel abroad #kol photo hotspots #travel inspiration #attraction photography guide #coolest travel experience #nature wonders #OverseasTravel

After 7 hours wandering up the hill, here I finally see the destination and this heavenly landscape

📍 Norway's Trolltunga Trolltunga is one of the three most famous rock formations in southern Norway. This rock juts out horizontally from the cliff, suspended almost a thousand meters above the ground, hence the name "Troll's Tongue." 🚶The round trip is about 23-28 km, and the elevation gain isn't too significant, making it perfect for beginners⛰️. Since I was starting from Oslo University and this was my first real hike and camping trip, I opted for a guided tour. Looking back, I think it was absolutely the right decision. I'm so grateful to Norway for giving me such a perfect first overnight hiking experience; just thinking about it makes me want to cry! I booked a tour with Trolltunga Adventures. There were about ten of us, with two guides, one in front and one at the back. They kept giving us snacks along the way, and at the photo spots, they took turns letting everyone go out onto the rock for pictures. It looks terrifying from the side, but when you're actually on it, you don't feel the height at all. It's very safe!! After dinner at the campsite, our guides took us on an extra little hike. When we got back, we roasted marshmallows around a campfire and chatted as the sun set. 😋 The next morning, the guides woke us up with oatmeal and hot cocoa. When I unzipped the tent and saw the fjord, I honestly thought I was still dreaming. It was absolutely breathtaking👐! Our group included people from Amsterdam, Greece, Germany, France, Boston, and Bermuda. I chatted with different people throughout the hike and around the campfire. It was amazing to hear about their diverse and free lives. I felt a bit dazed on the way down, like some feelings can only be experienced in the mountains. But I felt grateful, like I had made some new connections with the world.🌷 👣 Since the hike to Trolltunga must start from the small town of Odda, which is near Bergen, and I didn't rent a car, I made my own way back and forth from Oslo by plane and bus.

**Trolltunga**, an amazing view created by the Norwegian nature, is a strange rock that seems to jut out into the sky, and is a spot that trekkers around the world long for 🏞️👣 This rock, which means "troll's tongue", is located at an altitude of about 1,100m, and a beautiful fjord spreads out below 🌊⛰️ To reach it, you need to go on a serious climb of about 14km one way and about 10 to 12 hours round trip, which is a tough journey 💪😅 However, once you reach the end of the mountain, a spectacular view that will make you doubt your eyes awaits ✨ With cliffs spreading out at your feet, you will feel as if you are standing at the end of the world...! 🌏💙 It is also a popular photo spot, and some people take photos of themselves sitting or jumping on the tip of Trolltunga 📸🎉 However, there are no fences, so please be careful and do so at your own risk! ⚠️ The best season for mountain climbing is summer (June to September)🌞 Along the way, you can enjoy the grandeur of nature with beautiful lakes and snowy scenery unique to Norway🚶♂️🌲 If you're confident in your physical strength, this is a breathtaking spot that you'll want to try at least once in your life! #Norway #tripOverseas travel

#hiddengems Trolltunga, or the "Troll's Tongue," is one of the most iconic hiking destinations in Norway. The 28-kilometer round-trip hike is challenging but incredibly rewarding. The trail offers stunning views of fjords, glaciers, and rugged cliffs, with the highlight being the Trolltunga rock jutting out above Lake Ringedalsvatnet. Standing on the edge felt surreal, like being on top of the world. Start early to avoid crowds and carry plenty of supplies for the long trek. The sense of accomplishment and the breathtaking scenery make this one of the ultimate #OutdoorAdventure experiences.

#mountainhike Trolltunga (the "Troll’s Tongue") is one of Norway's most thrilling hikes, offering dramatic views of Lake Ringedalsvatnet from a 700-meter-high rock ledge. The 28-kilometer round-trip trek is demanding, taking 8-12 hours to complete, but the reward is the surreal, otherworldly scenery. The hike is best tackled during the summer months when conditions are safe. Proper gear, fitness, and preparation are essential due to steep sections and unpredictable weather. The iconic photo opportunity at Trolltunga makes it a must-visit for adventurers, though its increasing popularity means it can get crowded. It’s an unforgettable journey into Norway’s wild beauty.

#2024Travel Review Trolltunga Trolltunga, also known as the "Devil's Tongue", is located in the canyon of Odda, Norway (1,100 meters above sea level). It is a magical horizontal rock extending from the mountains. The Devil's Tongue is only tiring because of the long distance. In fact, it is not difficult to walk. Based on my personal physical strength, we walked for 8 hours. This was the longest hike during this trip to Norway. If you are worried about the long journey and not being able to get down the mountain before dark, you can take the shuttle bus as early as possible like us (6:30 at the earliest). We took the shuttle bus from P2 (the second parking lot) to P3 (the third parking lot) at 7:00, and walked around and took photos easily at 7:30 in the morning. It’s really worthwhile to spend a small amount of money to reduce 8 kilometers of uphill section! (During the peak tourist season, be sure to check the timetable on the website and make reservations in advance) Also, you need to check the sunset time. After all, there are still 20 kilometers left to climb. The more prepared you are, the safer you will be. The road signs along the way are clear. In addition to the red arrows on the stone walls, the towering signposts can be seen from a long distance, so you won't get lost! 🕰️Business hours: It is best to take the shuttle bus from P3 to P2; There are three parking lots, from far to near, they are P1 to P3: ✻ P1 parking lot: located in the town of Tyssedal, 9.8km from the upper starting point ✻ P2 parking lot: the old starting point of the Devil's Tongue hike (Old Trolltunga Starting Point), 4.3km from the upper starting point ✻ P3 parking lot: a newly established parking lot, located at the new starting point of the Devil's Tongue hike (upper starting point), 10.1km from the Devil's Tongue 🏖️Atmosphere/facilities: beautiful scenery/shuttle bus and parking lot 📍Address: located near the town of Odda in southwestern Norway 💰Per capita consumption: car fare or parking fee 💞Recommendation reason: not difficult, just far away, different from urban sightseeing

Trolltunga (Troll's Tongue), located near the town of Odda in Norway, is known as the "world's most dangerous place." Trolls are fairies that appear in Norse mythology, and the rock that sticks out like a troll's tongue is called Trolltunga. The standard way to take a photo is to sit on the tip of the rock (first image). Some people dance, jump, spin... Some even cosplay, and everyone enjoys taking photos in their own way. By the way, the second photo is the second tongue beyond the troll's tongue. The third photo is a photo taken while sitting on the tip of the troll's tongue. The fourth photo is a line for a commemorative photo. It requires a trek of about 10km one way, but it is so popular that in the season, there is a line in front of the troll's tongue. It is said that you can wait for an hour. In any case, in front of the high cliffs that are terrifying if you fall, there is an incredibly beautiful fjord valley! It's a heart-shaking experience that only those who have visited can understand. By the way, It seems that people have fallen here in the past, so it's best to take commemorative photos in moderation. Photo on Sep 22th 2016 Trolltunga is one of the most scenic and spectacular cliffs in Norway, hovering 700 metres above Ringedalsvatnet lake, situated near Odda city. Troll is a fairy in Scandinavian myth, tunga means "a tounge", so The big cliff protruding from the Fjord like a tounge of Troll. It's super fantastic views! But on the other hand, it's super dangerous without any protection. Most of hikers will have fun taking memorial photos on the cliff, some of sitting at the edge of the cliff, some of jumping, some of roling and so on. #tripoverseastravel #Norway #spectacularview #trekking

#celebratewithtrip I'm on the edge (nyanyi gaya Gaga ok) - at the tip of the tongue Subhanallah :) Checked the infamous #trolltunga a.k.a #trollkykra a.k.a #trollstigen. The 11km trail was challenging especially at KM1. Ascending took around 4hr 45 mins mainly because as a typical Malaysian, every spot worth a click :p Spent 1 & a half hour at the top and descending took 4 hours.Hate that last 1KM !!?##### Plus walking on the snow is definitely not my forte. For more info, stay tuned info: #trolltunga is d rock of Skjeggedal's mountain that was once broken off, but due to a lack of large weight it did not fall & now hangs at a height of 800 meters above the lake Ringedalsvannet (Scandictrip, 2014)

Getting There - 14 km hike (8hours for beginners) Attractions - FLAM, Odda, Trolltunga, Longest tunnel Hotels - Marriot Hotel Flam Food & Restaurants - Rema 1000, Vikings Lounge, Vikings Museum Shopping - Sovenir store #spooktaculartrip

#tripaway Trolltunga is a rock sticking out into space 700 metres above Ringedalsvatnet lake in Norway. The hike was challenging as it was drizzling for the whole day. Every steps on the slippery rocks was so carefully calculated so that we wouldn’t fall to our death, but we were blessed with magnificent views along the way. It was definitely a hike that I wouldn’t forget! #tripaway

It takes two days of flight to get to Norway from Hong Kong, and then transfer in Doha. The flight takes about twenty hours. There are some famous attractions there, such as the Devil's Tongue, which requires a day's walk on the mountain road to reach. The scenery on site is also beautiful. #Overseas travel #Overseas travel
