Torghatten[1] is a granite dome on the island of Torget in Brønnøy Municipality in Nordland county, Norway.
It is known for its characteristic hole, or natural tunnel, through its center.
[3] According to legend, the hole was made by the troll Hestmannen while he was chasing the beautiful woman Lekamøya.
As the troll realized he would not overtake her, he released an arrow to kill her, but the troll-king of Sømna threw his hat into the arrow's path to save her.
Ice and water eroded the looser rocks, while the harder ones in the mountain top have resisted erosion.
