The Trolls of Norway

Documented folklore from the Club 49 map, told straight and sourced.

The story

Norway’s trolls are woven into the actual map: Trollstigen (the troll’s ladder), Trolltunga (the troll’s tongue), Trollveggen (the troll wall, Europe’s tallest vertical rock face). In the folklore they are creatures of the mountain and the night who turn to stone in sunlight, which is how the sagas explain the extraordinary rock pillars and faces of the fjord country. The landscape is the legend here, and every one of those places is real and hikeable.

The ground it haunts

The fjord country (western Norway). Source: Norse troll folklore written across a real, spectacular landscape. The Club 49 map pins this legend at its documented country, beside the real mines, active claims, land status and modeled honey holes of the same ground. Open the free map and go stand in the story.
