"You need to be in good shape to do this hike. You have to allow plenty of time, because it is a long and demanding walk that will take you between 10 - 12 hours there and back. (5-6 hours each direction) The walk is 14 km each way, and the altitude difference is more than 1200 metres. But it really is worth it. Far up in the mountains, a unique experience awaits you – fantastic views of the dramatic and untouched nature of Western Norway. The walk starts by following the new road Måglivegen. Once up, the walk continues eastwards in relatively flat terrain, but with some uphill stretches, for about 5-6 hours, before you finally arrive at the tip of the tongue and one of the most spectacular rock formations in the whole of Fjord Norway. The route is signposted where there are forks in the path. You will also pass signs telling how far you have come and how far you have left. Then, after a long and magnificent walk lasting 5-6 hours, you have finally arrived at your destination. And what a sight it is. There it stands, a magical rock outcrop, protruding into thin air, ready to show you a view of Norwegian nature the likes of which you have never seen before. Trolltunga juts out at right angles to the mountainside, like a huge troll's tongue carved in stone. It has been there for thousands of years, just waiting for you to make your way to its edge, to admire the view, breath out and congratulate yourself for having climbed onto one of the most famous and unique mountain plateaus in Norway. If you lift your gaze towards Folgefonna, one of the biggest glaciers in Norway, and if you dare to peek over the edge, you will see 700 metres straight down to Ringedalsvannet lake and the Skjeggedal valley. If you suffer from a fear of heights, then you will probably find it more than enough just to take a few steps onto the rock and take a selfie, just to prove to your friends and acquaintances that you have been there. They are guaranteed to be impressed. Whatever you do, you have to be careful, because here it is the forces of nature that are in command." #visitBergen

It's a long walk, but when you get there you realise it was worth the effort. Adobe selected a picture of the Trolltunga as the cover for box in which it ships the "Lightroom" software. No coincidence that Lightroom is the photo editing software of choice for most photographers.
