August 17, 2025,Wanderung zur Trollkirche (Trollkirka) - Norwegen

A very demanding hike, or rather, a climbing tour. Each section consists of 1 km of regular hiking trail, followed by 2 km of steep ascent and descent through rough terrain. Absolute surefootedness and waterproof hiking boots are required.

Very cool cave that you can check out all by yourself and is not turned into a mainstream tourist attraction.
The path up was, as usual, quite rocky and fun to walk. Found these weird lines on some rocks. Any ideas about what that is or where it comes from? Looks like elephant skin or something...
In the parking lot, …

This hike has it all. Steep high above roots, stones and rocks. Completely sweaty then into the cold cave, armed with a headlamp. Otherwise it is dark up to the waterfall. It was awesome!
I don't know what komoot conjured up today. There was only one mountain... It was enough. There was probably no reception in the cave.

Was machen wirklich nur vier verrückte Deutsche Touristen, wenn sie in Norwegen unterwegs sind? Bei extremer Sturmwarnung und einer sehr nassen Wetterprognose zur Trollkirche aufzubrechen.
Tja, lag ja aber auf dem Weg und so schnell kommt man hier ja nicht wieder lang. 😅

Sturdy shoes are a must, some physical condition is helpful. On rainy days it is very slippery in places.

The Troll Church is a beautiful destination well worth the strenuous climb. On the way you follow a stream with many waterfalls.
Arriving in front of the troll church, a jacket and flashlight, better Headlight, are an advantage. It's quite chilly in the cave and you need light to climb and balance over the wet rocks in the creek bed. …
