The promontory, whose name literally means Troll's Tongue, juts out of a mountain a dizzying 700m up above the the Ringedalsvatnet lake in Hordaland, and has long been one of Norway's most popular tourist attractions.  Buzzfeed describes it as "a thrill-seeker's dream" 
 
"In order to preserve the rock’s beauty, no safety barriers have ever been built, but the four-hour trek will create the photo of a lifetime," it says. . 
 
The terrifying view from Trolltunga beat Zimbabwe's awe-inspiring Victoria Falls, Hội An in Vietnam, the Dead Sea's Mineral Beach, and Chittorgarh Fort in India to the top spot.
