We have visited some of the scenic destinations of Norway in our earlier posts. Today we go to the scenic cliffs of Trolltunga, which is situated at a whopping 1100 meters above the sea level. It gracefully hovers at a height of 700 meters over Lake Ringedalsvatnet and offers some breathtaking views. It is a giant slab or rock that protrudes from the cliffs and has some mystical appeal to it. Thousands of tourists are attracted to this stunning European destination where earth meets the heaven in a surreal way.
