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

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

#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)

It was definitely a hike that I wouldn’t forget! #tripaway
