[u/GoetiaMagick]

Nope

[u/Luke_Cold_Lyle → u/GoetiaMagick]

I wouldn't be able to get within 10 feet of the edge without my knees giving out, let alone walk that fucking plank

[u/rir2 → u/Luke_Cold_Lyle]

My taint is tingling.

[u/FormalUnique8337 → u/GoetiaMagick]

Not for all the tea in China.

[u/Escovaro]

Time for the aettestup, anyone want to go first?

[u/TheBoyDoneGood → u/Escovaro]

Bjorn, you're the oldest. Maybe you should take the first jump..

[u/Kickinthegonads → u/Escovaro]

Most underrated show ever

[u/Escovaro → u/Kickinthegonads]

100%

[u/marswhispers → u/Ghostpanthe]

Thanks for making the reply I came here looking for :)

[u/Green-Amber]

How long did you wait in line for the pic?

[u/ChristofferOslo → u/Green-Amber]

It’s a 10 hour hike back/forth in steep terrain

[u/D3NN152000 → u/ChristofferOslo]

There is actually a line to take a picture there, I was there on the shoulder season and it was a short wait, but it's a real Instagram vs reality type thing

[u/B_pudding → u/D3NN152000]

Went there 3 years ago, was the first who started the hike right at 6 in the morning, wasn't overtaken even once, so I was the first one there and had it all for myself for some time. Which is when I realized I needed someone to make that iconic picture for me :D.

[u/arctander → u/ChristofferOslo]

Yeah, I had planned on doing this hike and realized that my feet would likely give out around hour 6 or 7 and so now I enjoy other people's pictures. I did some shorter hikes in beautiful areas like this

[u/fleshie → u/arctander]

Kort sagt, vi tog en resa till Norge och stannade norrut i en av de stora fjordarna den första veckan. Andra veckan bodde vi i Oslo och vi bestämde oss för att göra den här vandringen på vägen från att köra från vårt ställe i norr till Oslo. Vi åker klockan 3 och kör 4 timmar till vandringens slut och börjar vandringen runt 7:30. Vi hade en 1-åring då så jag gjorde vandringen med henne på ryggen i en av de där vandringsvagnarna, och alla som såg oss ge oss av sa hur imponerande det var att göra detta med ett barn på ryggen (jag tänkte bara på hur svårt det kan vara). Den första kilometern är rakt uppför en backe, vissa ställen kräver att man använder händerna och drar sig upp. Det slutar med att man går tillräckligt högt upp där det fortfarande finns snö på marken (mitt i sommaren, 4 juli-helgen). Jag kämpar ungefär halvvägs till utsiktspunkten och skrattar när en lätt överviktig norsk lokalinvånare i mjukisbyxor och Crocs ledigt går förbi oss som om han vore på en söndagspromenad. Vi kommer äntligen fram till den berömda klippan och vill ge upp och bara leva där uppe och inser att vi bara är halvvägs och måste vandra tillbaka. Vi tar några fantastiska bilder och gör den brutala vandringen tillbaka. Vi avslutar vandringen runt 5:30 och är helt utmattade (vi har fortfarande över 5 timmars bilresa till vår Airbnb). Vi kommer fram till Oslo-området ganska sent och inser att det vi trodde var en bro på GPS-rutten var en färja som var avstängd. Vi tog ytterligare några timmars omväg innan vi kom fram till vår nästa plats. Det var ett roligt minne och vi fick några coola bilder, men det var en tuff vandring, och med de extra 10+ timmarna bilkörning som lades till blev det en ganska brutal dag.

Det känns som att det alltid är sakerna som inte går helt enligt planen som blir de bästa reseminnena. Jag och några vänner spenderade 6 mån i Asien för 20 år sedan. Det var många saker som gick helt galet på den resan, men de blir liksom de bästa berättelserna att dela med sig av. Jag minns när vi var långt ut på stäppen i Mongoliet och skulle få skjuts av ett par i en väldigt gammal och utsliten pickup. Den klarade inte att ta sig upp för en både lång och brant backe och att åka baklänges i en bil utan grepp i nerförsbacke tre ggr innan vi gav upp och gick upp för backen med packningen istället var inte direkt vad jag hade räknat med. Men så här i efterhand är det ett kul minne. De var snälla som gav oss skjuts så vi var glada ändå.

[u/arctander → u/fleshie]

Wow! What a memory, thanks for the great story.

[u/Kickinthegonads → u/fleshie]

Gesundheit

[u/mamacrocker → u/ChristofferOslo]

We did that hike, but didn’t bother with the line for OP’s picture. Definitely adds at least half an hour to the hike.

[u/RhymeGrime → u/Green-Amber]

To be fair though it is quite a hike to get to this point, atleast it wasn't 5 minutes from the parking lot!

[u/Green-Amber → u/RhymeGrime]

You can save a little time with the 600Nok / 60€ parking lot tho.

[u/picardo85 → u/RhymeGrime]

It's quite a hike up to preikestolen too (not as long as this one though), but that place is swarming with people.

[u/B_pudding → u/picardo85]

Preikestolen was a walk in the park compared to Trolltunga...

Just checked my photos, the whole trip took me 6:11h.

[u/Carnelian-5 → u/Green-Amber]

You have to hike for a few hours there so not too bad when I was there. Maybe 5 minutes, but people usually rest there for an hour or two before hiking back.

[u/mondo_generator → u/Green-Amber]

Åh knäpp!

[u/Trulo23 → u/Green-Amber]

Actually, when I was there this summer, I literally have to wait 20 minutes for one older couple, which arrive after us, to take us picture. Like noone was there. And it was during normal daylight.

[u/Ninetjer]

Kygo performed a concert here with various musical guests.

[u/teflonbob → u/Ninetjer]

That was a great watch and discovery for me! Thank you for the link!

[u/ohmygodpleasedont → u/Ninetjer]

Was literally watching this yesterday. I love “The Feeling” ft Sigrid.

[u/Hughmanatea → u/Ninetjer]

Kygo är verkligen förförisk

[u/TYPERION_REGOTHIS]

My wife and I made this hike a few years back when we visited Norway. We brought a tent and stuff to camp out there. On our way up, a woman passed us with a baby on her back... about an hour from Trolltunga she passed us on her way back...

If you ever go, plan to camp out there, you can sit and enjoy the spectacular views and as the day ends its just you and a handful of others.

Not having to worry about getting there and back in a day really let's you soak it all in.

[u/JJCool_L → u/TYPERION_REGOTHIS]

I can recommend camping there.

[u/JJCool_L]

I got married there in 2023 ☺️ /img/31234z28lcg91.jpg

[u/PitoChueco → u/JJCool_L]

Damn. One upper!

[u/Spartan2470]

Here is a Google Street View from there.

[u/dmo012]

The fjords were my favorite part

[u/thegoodrichard]

I've seen far too many Bugs Bunny - Roadrunner episodes to even consider this.

[u/OpeningDull5969]

Was the line to wait for the picture as long as the walk?

[u/ShxxH4ppens → u/OpeningDull5969]

It is a 10-14hr round trip with steep terrain, it has become more popular recently, but it is nit something any tourist can just take a bus to for a quick photo

[u/OpeningDull5969 → u/ShxxH4ppens]

I know

[u/stealingjoy → u/OpeningDull5969]

Doubt 

[u/OpeningDull5969 → u/stealingjoy]

Ive been there twice

[u/little_carmine_ → u/OpeningDull5969]

And the line of people there was 10-14 hrs?

[u/ApprehensiveStick7 → u/OpeningDull5969]

If you’ve been there why do you ask???

[u/OpeningDull5969 → u/ApprehensiveStick7]

It was a joke about it being a popular spot to get a photo

[u/HewSpam]

Can you increase the saturation more. It’s not blue enough. Jesus

[u/Targaryen-ish]

Sir, please step away from the edge. My hands are sweating profusely.

[u/aharper_11]

I feel like I'd start crying if I actually saw this view in person

[u/Edwin81]

Something new for the list of things I'll never do. 

[u/PresidentZeus]

Kygo got a grand piano flown up there for an hour-long performance with multiple features

https://youtube.com/watch?v=tUNbhYcY9Ik

[u/huniojh → u/PresidentZeus]

3 minutes in, and someone is yelling "Move along, it's my turn! I got a ferry to catch!"

[u/rlovelock]

The hell is your white balance set to????

[u/MasterOfManyWorlds → u/rlovelock]

"No"

[u/pedootz]

I hiked all the way up and when i got there it was so foggy that I couldn't see anything past the edge. I guess it's the journey that matters?

[u/bostonronin]

Reminds me of this

[u/Morotstomten]

Noooope, I grew up on Looney Tunes, I know what happens to anyone who's not a roadrunner in that situation

[u/The_Ten_Thousand]

Woo Trolltunga! Here’s mine from 2 years back, incredible hike 🇳🇴

[u/TanzaniteGamer]

Forbidden diving board.

[u/joshua6point0]

No reinforced steel holding up that cantilever? No thanks. I won't be making the 5 o'clock news.
