Storskrymten is a mountain in Norway. The top of the mountain is a tripoint for three counties and three municipalities: Oppdal (Sør-Trøndelag county), Sunndal (Møre og Romsdal county), and Lesja (Oppland county). It is the highest mountain in Sør-Trøndelag county. Less than 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) east of Storskrymten is the mountain Litlskrymten which means "the little Skrymt". It is located within the Dovrefjell–Sunndalsfjella National Park.[1]
[edit] Name
The first element is stor which means "big" and the last element is the finite form of skrymt which means "uncanny thing", "fright", or "scare" (the hillsides of the mountain are extremely steep).
