Torghatten

According to Norse legend, a giant troll tried to kidnap a beautiful ogress at mid-night. When she ran from him, he raised his bow to shoot her. The King of The Mountains, deflected the arrow with his hat. When dawn broke, the hat (with the arrow hole) became Torghatten. As we sailed away, we got to see the arrow hole.
