My Second Nordic Adventure (Day 11) - Trolltunga


Today is the day that we hit the most famous spot of Norway - the Trolltunga. This is the longest hike we did in Norway - the full hike from the main trailhead from P2 in Skjeggedal is 27km (~17 miles) with 800m (~2600 feet) elevation gain, BUT there is an additional trailhead at P3 Mågelitopp (you can either reserve a parking spot ahead of time, or reserve a shuttle spot that takes you from P2 to P3), which shaves 7km AND almost 1600 feet off the full hike.

To be honest, most of the hike was not particularly scenic, except you do feel like you are surrounded by nature! As you get closer to the end, you can catch glimpses of the fjord. And when you get to the spot, you will have to climb down and line up for the picture we all are coming here for!

Don’t forget to actually look at the scenery when you are there (not just to take the picture)!!

The hike down was a bit faster, so we were able to get to Bergen before dark. Tomorrow, we will take a break from hiking and explore the city of Bergen!
