Trolltunga – Norway's Most Spectacular Rock Formation Trolltunga is one of the most scenic and spectacular cliffs in Norway, hovering 700 metres above Ringedalsvatnet lake. Situated at the western edge of the Hardangervidda plateau, near the town of Odda, Trolltunga was carved by the icecap that once covered most of Scandinavia. The hike through high-mountain terrain up to Trolltunga (1180 m) is long and demanding, but you are rewarded with magnificent views. From the main trailhead at P2 in Skjeggedal, the round-trip hike is 28 km with an ascent of almost 800 metres. The estimated hiking time is 8–12 hours. There is an additional trailhead at P3 Magelitopp. The round-trip hike from P3 Magelitopp is 20 km with an ascent of about 320 metres. The estimated hiking time is 7–10 hours. Hikers need to be properly equipped and in good shape. All the info you need about hiking to Trolltunga: https://trolltunga.com/.

We took the Shuttle bus from the parking to the starting point of the actual walk. Unless you are very fit and will enjoy 9 additional KM steep up hill walk, i will strongly recommend this Shuttle bus, since the walk from the starting point and return is 20 KM. When we arrived at Trolltunga we had a great time enjoying this unique view. Absolutely worth the efforts and a great memory. Remember to take additional clothes and sufficient food and drinks.

We walked through 3 times in our day in Bergen at different times. Great displays including monkfish (ugly), smoked whale meat (we had a taste), live king crabs and lobsters, sea urchins and much more. Behind the counters of fish were tables that got busy around lunch time. You could get a variety of seafood sandwiches, a variety of hot seafood, whale burgers, paella, reindeer sausage, etc. fresh berries of many kinds made beautiful displays at each end of tge market.

We really loves this place. It has a few hundred houses, building and even ships made entirely of ginger bread. The whole exhibition is dimmed to simulate a typical night in Bergen. Adults pays 100NOK and kids below 12 years old enters for free. There is a slide at the far end of the exhibition too.
