Troll Wall
Weather for the next days
In Rauma
Nestled deep within the Rama region, the Troll Wall – or Trollsteiggan – offers a truly unforgettable experience. This remarkable viewpoint presents a dramatic landscape where the valley walls rise almost vertically, effectively obscuring the horizon. It’s a place that immediately captivates with its raw, imposing beauty.
The road itself is a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance. Constructed in the early 20th century, the ascent demands navigation of eleven hairpin turns, painstakingly carved directly into the unyielding rock face. The steepness is remarkable, creating the impression that the road literally folds back upon itself. A slender gray ribbon of asphalt snakes its way across this ancient stone wall, a tangible record of the labour involved.
Adding to the spectacle is the Stig Fosen waterfall, plunging over 1,000 feet directly beneath a narrow bridge. The roar of the water is incredibly powerful, a potent reminder of the mountain’s immense hydraulic force. Built with a combination of controlled blasting and hand-built retaining walls, the Troll Wall’s solidity is a result of centuries of careful construction and maintenance. Looking back, the road appears surprisingly delicate, a testament to the calculated precision that holds it in place. It’s a place where the mountains dictate every movement and with each turn, a new, breathtaking perspective is revealed. If you’re planning a visit, consider using the local autocarro to reach the area, and be sure to check parking and restroom facilities are available.

Wow I think it's pretty cool to see the sights where my great-great grandfather was born and lived for a part of his life. I'd like to visit this area someday and find some Moe's that are still around the area!
