Trollfjord, Fjord in Hadsel Municipality, Norway
The Trollfjord is a narrow inlet carved between vertical rock walls that rise steeply from the water. The passage stretches for several kilometers with the walls often just a few hundred meters apart.
In 1890, a conflict erupted between traditional fishing boats and modern industrial vessels, leading to new fishing regulations in Norway. This clash became a turning point that changed how fishing was managed along the coast.
The name comes from Norse mythology, with local legends telling of trolls shaping the land long ago. These stories remain part of how people in the region connect with this place.
The most common way to visit is by boat tour departing from nearby Svolvær in daily services. You can also reach it aboard the Hurtigruten coastal ferry, which passes through the fjord as part of its regular northern route.
Until the 1960s, a natural waterfall flowed at the fjord's end, but water was redirected for hydropower dams. This change transformed what visitors see today, yet few people know about this shift.
