In line for likes: What lies behind the beautiful Troll Language photos

Imagine that you are standing on the edge of the Troll Tongue, in Norway, at an altitude of 700 meters above the Ringedalsvatn Lake. It feels like you are on the edge of the earth. The magnificent view is recognized as one of the most picturesque in the world. But in fact, everything turns out to be not so chic.

Photos of the famous view opening from the Troll's Tongue fill social networks and make you believe that this is one of the most amazing places on the planet. But behind these pictures lies a depressing truth.

In fact, this place is simply teeming with tourists who are fighting to the death to make a famous photo. Behind the scenes of beautiful pictures, crowds of travelers are hiding, who stand in line for hours to snatch a minute and take a picture.

If you look at the reviews of the place on TripAdvisor, you can see a lot of complaints about the number of tourists.

Many advise to go to the Troll Language before six in the morning to avoid chaos.

Despite the not at all romantic reality, tourists still say that this is an unforgettable place:

"The view is spectacular. You climb a snow-covered rocky plateau with a beautiful view of a glacial lake and mountains. The Language itself is a miracle. Going up there, you realize how tiny and insignificant people are."
