The Trolltunga hike

Hoʻopuka ʻia: 05.09.2019

For the first 3.5 km, the path is a steep serpentine road. Then follows a very flat section that is well signposted and marked with red rods. You think: Oh, the next 10 km will be a walk in the park. And always follow the red T. This is how the entire route to and from Trolltunga is marked and you can't get lost.

Each kilometer is marked with a sign indicating how far you have come. In addition, the stone towers show you that you are still on the right track.

You can see impressive rock formations and different types of rocks along the entire path.

On my day, it was raining the whole time and there is nowhere to take shelter.

There are a few small stone bridges so that you don't have to wade through water up to your ankles.

But despite the weather, you are not alone on the way.

On the last few meters, the impressive rock ledge becomes visible. I was far from being the only one there, so I had to wait for about half an hour before I could take my photo.

Yesterday, I did the Trolltunga hike. Early in the morning at 6:00, the bus stopped in front of my hostel, Trolltunga Studios in Odda. After a 30-minute drive, we arrived at the beginning of the hike. You can still take a bus for the first 3.5 km. Of course, I didn't do that. After that, the path is very natural, which also means there is no shelter, no dry seating, and no toilets along the way. The path is rocky and steep. After a 14 km hike, you reach Trolltunga. So many tourists want to take a picture alone on the rock that you have to wait for about half an hour. Then you go back the same way. Sometimes you see a few tents on the path. Luckily, there is a small café at the end of the hike where you can warm up. I took the bus back to Odda around 17:30.
