Trollkirka, Natural limestone cave system in Hustadvika Municipality, Norway.
Trollkirka is a limestone and marble cave system in Hustadvika with several connected chambers containing underground streams and passages. Water flows through curved galleries and creates pools where it collects before continuing deeper into the mountain.
The cave system developed over millions of years as water eroded the limestone and marble deposits in the Møre og Romsdal mountain region. These geological processes created the passages and chambers visible today throughout the underground space.
The name Trollkirka comes from Norwegian traditions that link natural formations to supernatural beings. This connection shows how locals have long interpreted the landscape through folklore and spiritual beliefs.
Reaching the entrance requires about a 90-minute uphill walk from the parking area, so wear sturdy shoes and prepare for physical effort. Bring a headlamp or flashlight because the underground passages are dark and you will need reliable light to move safely.
In the middle section, the path curves in an S-shape through the rock before opening to a natural marble pool at the waterfall base. This pool has formed over millennia and creates a striking white basin surrounded by dark stone walls.
