Trolltunga is another spectacular example of the geological oddities that dot the Norwegian landscape.

The fittingly named 'Troll's Tongue' sticks out of a vertical mountain side above a 350m drop. It offers a magnificent view of Skjeggedal near town of Odda.

The location is far less know than some other spectacular geological oddities in Norway, and therefore, much less crowded, however still quite accessible. You can take a funicular up part of the way, though it isn't always functioning. It is roughly a 3-4 hour hike to the 'trolls tongue'.
