The mountains which encircle the Trollstigen Mountain Road, which lies in the heart of Romsdal, are enormous. Names like Kongen (the King), Dronningen (the Queen) and Bispen (the Bishop) confirm their majesty in this mountain world.
Stigfossen Waterfall gushes down the mountain side towards the luscious Isterdalen Valley. In the middle of all this, the Trollstigen Mountain Road winds its way up the mountain side, 852 metres above sea level.
