Torghatten is a mountain located in the Brønnøy municipality of Nordland county in Norway. It is located on the island of Torget, just off the mainland coast of Norway. The mountain is well known for its distinctive hole through its center, which is said to have been created by a giant troll in a fit of rage.
The mountain is 554 meters above sea level and is composed of granite. The hole itself is 160 meters long and 40 meters wide, and is believed to have been caused by a combination of glacial erosion and the explosion of a meteorite. The mountain has been a popular tourist attraction for centuries, and is one of the most photographed sites in Norway.
Torghatten is an important part of Norway's history. In the 16th century, the mountain was used as a place of refuge for persecuted Protestants and later as a fortification against the Swedish during the Napoleonic Wars. During World War II, the mountain was used as a lookout post by the resistance movement.
Today, the mountain is a popular destination for hikers, who can take a ferry to the island of Torget and then climb the mountain. The top of the mountain offers stunning views of the surrounding area, including the fjords and the Arctic Sea. The hole in the mountain is also a popular destination, and visitors can climb inside the mountain and take pictures from the inside.
