Geocache Description:


Scandinavian folklore introduces two kinds of Trolls: the giants (often called jontar) and the little folk (often called huldrefolk).  The jotnar, who borrow their name and many of their characteristics from the ancient Norse ice giants, are superhuman characters. They tower above your average man, supported by colossal stony limbs. Their features are rugged, like stone worn down by the weather, and their hair is wild. Some of them are so large and unkempt that plants can even take root in their skin. The ugliest jotnar can have single eyes, like a cyclops, or multiple heads. The huldrefolk are much less of an eyesore than their giant cousins. In fact, they can easily be mistaken for humans—and attractive humans at that! They are betrayed only by their tails, which can be cow-like or fox-like, but these can be hidden by clothing.
