Oslo - The Trolltunga – or Troll’s Tongue in English – sits 700m above Ringedalsvatnet Lake in Southern Norway. The landmark was formed 10 000 years ago following the end of the last ice age.
Now the clifftop has become a magnet for thrill-seeking hikers who are flocking to the breathtaking landmark.
No safety railing has been constructed on the edge of the cliff, which is just several metres wide, as tourism bosses want to preserve the natural beauty of the landmark.
Local mountain guides say travellers often try to outdo each other when it comes to taking the most spectacular and daring pictures on the clifftop.
The most popular pictures include couples kissing and leaping in the air at the cliff’s edge.
The Troll’s Tongue is available for hikers to access between mid-June and mid-September each year, and it takes visitors about eight hours to walk there and back from the local village of Skjeggedal.
Mountain guide Jostein Soldal said: “The groups challenge and inspire each other to come up with better or funnier pictures.
“I really like the photos where big groups of people are jumping and you capture the perfect moment mid-air.”
Soldal has been taking groups of hikers to the Trolltunga since 2009. – Daily Mail
