Troll Capital of the World®

VElkommen to Mount Horeb

Plan your next quirky adventure to Mount Horeb, home to trolls and other mythical creatures. Public art abounds, including sculptures from local artists and of course our beloved trolls, who will guide you through the community. Whatever brings you to our village - scenic hiking trails of Blue Mound State Park, Stewart Lake County Park, or Donald Park; the Military Ridge State Trail, offering thrilling adventures through picturesque landscapes; the magic of Cave of the Mounds; or the history of Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin in neighboring Spring Green - you'll find a welcoming community that embraces all things quirky.

Dive into downtown Mount Horeb, where unique shops await, alongside a diverse culinary scene featuring a microbrewery, cider pub, and delectable dining options. Indulge your sweet tooth at two chocolate shops and a vintage candy store, or savor cool treats at an ice cream and shaved ice restaurant. With cozy coffee shops and inviting lunch spots, Mount Horeb is a haven for foodies.

Make it an extended visit and stay at one of our local lodging properties. Whether you're traveling with kids or on your own, there is a unique option perfectly fit for your needs!
