Trolltunga

Hardangervidda, Norway, 7mi / 11km

Trolltunga (“troll tongue”) is no doubt one of the most spectacular cliffs in Norway, situated about 1,100 m (3,610 ft) above sea level and hovering some 700 m (2,290 ft) above Lake Ringedalsvatnet. The hike to Trolltunga is very challenging, going through rough terrain. The round-trip distance with an 800m (2,625 ft) gain in elevation takes around 10-12 hours. In later years there have been up to 40 rescue actions annually. Surprisingly not because of the dangerous cliff, but due to the demanding hike back to Tyssedal. People get lost in fog or get injured during the hike or don't have the endurance for such a demanding hike.
