    From the car park in Trollheimsund, a marked path leads past a few houses and over various hills to the petrified "trolls" at Trollholmsundet. According to an old Sami legend, a group of trolls wandered across the Finnmarksvidda at night. They wanted to bury their huge treasure chest in Porsanger. When this didn't work, they moved on and wanted to cross the fjord. But the rising sun turned them into stone.

      Badly signposted way. For a short walk, about 15 minutes and 15 back. Always pay attention to red markings.

        Nice little hike. Just follow the road from the parking lot....
        Green markings start on the right side.

          In mid-August, the sun rises right above the trolls

            A beautiful hiking trail, but the local farmer occasionally spreads manure on the surrounding meadows and then it stinks for a long time.
            The rocks require a bit of imagination from the viewer!

              Not a "must see" but if you're on the way you can definitely take it with you!
