A horizontal rock ledge projecting roughly ten metres out over Lake Ringedalsvatnet, some 700 metres above sea level in Hardangerfjord municipality. The formation earned its name, meaning Troll's Tongue, from its distinctive shape when viewed from the valley below. The approach trail from Skjeggedal covers around 22 kilometres round-trip with significant elevation gain, rewarding hikers with one of Norway's most dramatic natural vantage points.
