Trollpikken

Inselbergs and Crystalline Monoliths

Trollpikken is a rock formation jutting from a cliff face in Eigersund Municipality in Rogaland county, Norway, standing about 12 meters tall and weighing roughly 10 tonnes. It sits on a cliff between Kjervall and Veshovda. In June 2017 vandals sawed the formation off the cliff face; a public crowdfunding campaign raised 226,000 Norwegian kroner to reattach it using cement, glue and metal fittings.
