Norway In All Its Insanely Beautiful Glory

Norway In All Its Insanely Beautiful Glory

"Remote rural areas are photographically as interesting as the lifestyle and architecture of urban melting pots. Both worlds fascinate me and so I try to capture my individual view of these changing and challenging environments," says Kilian Schoenberger on his website.

If his goal is to unveil the obvious and hidden beauty around the world, then mission accomplished.

Just check out his insane photos of Norway below.

Of one of Norway's most famous rocks, Schoenberger says, Trolltunga (Troll's tongue) is a piece of rock towering horizontally out of the mountain high above the Ringedalsvatnet lake. The hike to Trolltunga is an 8-10 hour walk both ways, with a height difference of about 900 meters. "I didn't expect snow when I was hiking there - so it was a really exhausting and sometimes even disorientated and dangerous tour through a 'white desert,'" Schoenberger says.
