Norwegian folklore, rich in enchanting narratives, features an array of mythical creatures that have captivated imaginations for centuries. These tales are not mere stories; they are cultural reflections deeply intertwined with the Norwegian landscape and its people. Among these figures, trolls, perhaps the most famous, inhabit remote mountains and forests. Unpredictable and often malicious, they symbolize the strength and mystery of nature. Trolls, with their tremendous power, incite both fear and intrigue, appearing, according to lore, only after sunset. Moreover, their aversion to sunlight is legendary, suggesting that daylight transforms them into stone.
