The mystical Caves of Hella - are they the Oldest Man-made Structure in Iceland
In the southern part of Iceland, from Ölfus to Vík, you will find ancient caves that are very easily accessible. In this area, more than a hundred man-made caves have been discovered. The best-known of these caves are the mystical Ægissíðuhellar - Hellarnir á Hellu - the Caves of Hella. They are amongst the largest man-made caves in Iceland. I Joined 2 guided tours of the caves to be able to find out as much as possible about the origin of the caves, which is still a mystery to us.
