#4 Trolltunga – 23 km to see a troll’s tongue,More info:onedaystop
The impression is almost surreal. Trolltunga − a flat, narrow and a more than a dozen meters long rock hangs 700m above a lake that winds like a snake. Formed by a glacier 10 000 years ago is now the main attraction of Norway. Ironically – one of the most challenging and hard to reach. Demands are cruel − to get on a trail we wake before 6:00 am.
Very early morning the camping is full of hustle and bustle. The site is rather small and a majority of guests come here just for one night to catch the tongue and move on. Just like us. With a dawn above us, we struggle with packing sleeping bags and tent. Modest breakfast, quick shower and we are ready to hit the trail.

Generally, my travels rime with strolling, preferably under the sun, and preferably in cities. Those past few years, I had so much fun exploring most of the main European capitals. But surprisingly, since I’ve reached the « 30 mark », I have started to be more into nature, big spaces, challenging and more intense adventures. Is it called being old and boring? Or just mature? Not sure. But I do love it more and more.
But anyway, when my friend Helene suggested the idea of a 3 days weekend in Norway that would include the « Trolltunga Hike », back in January, I was in a rather positive mood, so I said yes.
New country, new challenge, international team composed of people I never met, perfect opportunity for some change.
