Norwegian Trolls

In Norwegian folklore, trolls are ancient, powerful beings tied to mountains, deep forests, and remote valleys—often enormous in size, slow-moving, and deeply connected to the land itself. They are said to turn to stone in sunlight, a belief used to explain the jagged peaks and oddly shaped rock formations throughout Norway, including Trolltunga and Trollveggen. Troll folklore remains one of Norway’s strongest mythic traditions, shaping culture, place names, and local legends across the country.
