Norway - Torghatten

Torghatten (Troll's Hat) is a hill in Norway renowned for its distinctive hole piercing straight through the hillside (not a printing error!). The hill is so named after a tale of a Troll who's hat was pierced by an arrow, whilst saving a beautiful woman from the amorous advances of a less-mannered troll. The discarded hat turned to stone and formed the hill! Date: circa 1908
