The Golden Circle and Floating in the Secret Lagoon at Flúðir in South-Iceland

I joined a truly fun tour recently, the Golden Circle tour combined with very relaxing floating and massage in a secret lagoon in South Iceland! I was picked up at the BSÍ, bus terminal in Reykjavík at 2 pm. I was expecting a small bus to pick me up, but was delighted to see the luxury jeep that was going to be driving me around for the day :) Top photo: the Secret Lagoon Ólafur from Travis Iceland by his super jeep - he is a very entertaining and fun guide and we still stay in touch The Golden Circle is by far the most popular tour in Iceland. The first stop on this tour is at Þingvel

A Visit to the Ice Cave Tunnel in Langjökull Glacier in Iceland - Into the Glacier

Now, this is an extraordinary tour - a visit to the man-made ice cave in Europe's second-largest glacier, Langjökull glacier. The cave opened on June 1st, 2015, and I visited it for the first time on June 11th, 2015! This is quite an exceptional experience - to walk hundreds of metres inside a glacier into the largest man-made ice cave tunnel in the world! Top photo: inside the Ice Cave Tunnel in Langjökull Glacier Inside the Ice Cave Tunnel in Langjökull Glacier The pick-up for my tour started at 8:30 am, but as I live in Reykjavík then I met up with the Reykjavík Excursions bus at ou

Drangurinn in Drangshlíð and the Elves in South Iceland - Icelandic Folklore

Drangurinn in Drangshlíð and the Elves in South Iceland - Icelandic Folklore

A peculiar rock stands alone in South Iceland below the beautiful Eyjafjöll mountains with a couple of elf stories linked to it. And seeing that I am a great fan of elf stories, then I want to tell you about the elves in this rock, which is called Drangurinn in Drangshlíð. I found this folklore in Þjóðsögur Jóns Árnasonar - the Collection of Folklore by Jón Árnason and translated it into English: "In Drangshlíð by Eyjafjöll mountains, there is a big rock in the field, almost the height of 20 men. On one side of it, there are caves and big spaces beneath it, and the farmers kept there all

The Njálurefill Tapestry in South Iceland and the Saga Centre - the Saga of Njáll

On the 2nd of February 2013, an interesting project started in Hvolsvöllur village in South Iceland. The Njálurefill or the Saga of Njáll Tapestry. On the 15th of September 2020, the Njálurefill Tapestry was completed after 7.7 years in the making. Njálurefill is 91.16 m long and might be the longest tapestry in the world. Top photo: Njálurefill Scenes from Njála - the prototype for the Njáll tapestry It was estimated in the beginning that 10 metres would be sewn annually. But this has proven to be a very popular project and for the first 2 years, 38.25 metres were sewn! In December

Úlfhildur the Elf-lady at Lake Mývatn in North Iceland - Icelandic Folklore

I have been telling you a bit about the Elves of Iceland in my travel-blogs. In this travel-blog, I want to tell you about an elf-lady at Lake Mývatn in Mývatnssveit in North Iceland. Her name is "Úlfhildur álfkona" or Úlfhildur the elf-lady. Lake Mývatn, where this folklore happened, is Iceland's 4th largest lake and was created in a basaltic lava eruption some 2,300 years ago. Top photo: Lake Mývatn by Höfði Kálfastrandarvogar by Lake Mývatn I found the story in Þjóðsögur Jóns Árnasonar - the Compilation of Folklore by Jón Árnason: "Once upon a time there was a farmer on a farm, h

Álfaborg - the City of the Elves in Borgarfjörður-Eystri in East Iceland - Icelandic Folklore

Álfaborg - the City of the Elves is the name of a prominent rock in East Iceland. This majestic rock resembles a natural fortress. It is located in the middle of the mouth of the fjord called Borgarfjörður-Eystri or Borgarfjörður in the East. The rock is located in a moor and the fjord gets its name from this rock. On top of the rock, there is gravel plain and grass and a very easy hike to the top. The rock is called Álfaborg or the City of the Elves as it was a common belief that the rock was the manor of the highest-ranking amongst the elves, such as chieftains and the King and Queen of

Hveravellir - the beautiful Geothermal Oasis in the Highland of Iceland

In the central highland of Iceland, you will find one of the pearls of Iceland, a beautiful geothermal area called Hveravellir, a nature reserve 650 meters above sea level. Join me on an adventure into the highland, where we will visit colourful geothermal hot springs and bathe in a hot pool in a geothermal river :) After driving through the vast, barren highland of Iceland, it is so lovely to encounter such an oasis. Top photo: The oldest still-standing turf rest house at Hveravellir, built in 1922 Chilling in the hot pool at Hveravellir There was an old route through this area, whi

Stöng - Ruins of a Real Viking Settlement Manor and the Reconstructed Saga-Age Farm in Iceland

In this travel blog, I am going to show you the ruins of a real Viking Age farm, Stöng, which can be found in Þjórsárdalur Valley upcountry in South Iceland. Some of the Vikings settled in the valley, unaware that they were in the proximity of the notorious volcano Hekla - the Queen of Icelandic volcanoes. Mt. Hekla erupted for the first time after the Settlement of Iceland in 1104, causing the devastation of some 22 settlement farms in the Þjórsárdalur Valley.

Gjáin in Þjórsárdalur Valley Upcountry Iceland - One of Iceland's Pearls of Nature

A breathtakingly beautiful place lies hidden away in Þjórsárdalur valley upcountry in South-Iceland. It is called Gjáin and is for sure one of Iceland's pearls of nature. It is a delicate beauty, which we have to preserve and treat with utter respect. Rauðá river (Red River) runs through here. A lovely waterfall in the river, Gjárfoss falls cascades into the gorge of Gjáin. It is small, but ever so beautifully framed by the surroundings. Top photo: Gjárfoss waterfall Talking to the dweller in the waterfall A relatively short easy hike from the Viking settlement manor at Stöng takes you
