The Concert Hall of the Elves of Iceland

The Concert Hall of the Elves of Iceland

Over the years, I have shown you many locations in Iceland where the elves and hidden people live. We share Iceland with them and respect and cherish them. Some people see them or can hear them, but most of us don't. But we still acknowledge their existence, as our folklore is filled with stories about Iceland's hidden population. And our grandparents told us stories about them. In this travel blog, I am going to show you one such beautiful location, but, out of respect for the elves' wishes, I have had to change my travel blog and cannot reveal its location.

A Winter Visit to Akureyri - the Capital of North Iceland

A Winter Visit to Akureyri - the Capital of North Iceland

This is my 300th travel blog on Guide to Iceland, and I wanted to dedicate it to something special. I have been writing for more than 10 years now, and was pondering what to write about. In the meantime, I decided to join my husband on a work trip to Akureyri, the capital of North Iceland. It was mid-March, and I don't usually travel in the wintertime; I use the winter months for reading and writing. But I don't regret accompanying him, as during our 5 days up north, I felt like I had entered a fairytale world - Winter Wonderland. And now I was in no doubt of what I wanted to write about :)

The historical Steinahellir Cave in South Iceland

There are many caves in South Iceland, one of which is right by the Ring Road. It is called Steinahellir, meaning "Stone Cave," and has served many functions over the centuries. There are supernatural stories associated with Steinahellir cave, some of which tell of ghosts and the hidden people of Iceland. One of them tells us about the wrath of the hidden people if we dare do one forbidden thing in the cave! In this travel blog, I am going to tell you these stories and other interesting happenings in the Steinahellir cave, including a rebellion against the authorities. Top photo: the entra

A Visit to Hellnahellir Cave - the longest man-made Cave in Iceland

A Visit to Hellnahellir Cave - the longest man-made Cave in Iceland

In Iceland, you will find many beautiful caves, some of which are colourful lava caves and others that are manmade. In many of my travel blogs, I have written about various types of caves in Iceland. A couple of years ago, we visited Hellnahellir cave at Hellar in Landsveit upcountry in South Iceland. Hellnahellir is the longest manmade cave in Iceland and one of the most remarkable antiquities in my country. Top photo: Inside Hellnahellir cave Inside Hellnahellir cave The farm Hellar is built on Hellnahóll (Cave Hill) beneath Mt. Skarðsfjall, and the Hellar farm is first mentioned in th

A lovely Visit to Mt. Vestrahorn and Stokksnes in Southeast Iceland

A lovely Visit to Mt. Vestrahorn and Stokksnes in Southeast Iceland

On my 10-day trip around Iceland, I visited one of the most breathtaking locations in southeast Iceland, Mt. Vestrahorn and the Stokksnes peninsula, and stayed overnight at the Viking café. This is one of the must-stop locations when visiting this part of Iceland. Mt. Vestrahorn is one of the most photographed mountains in Iceland, and I have seen some fantastic photos of it. Top photo: Mt. Vestrahorn Mt. Vestrahorn Iurie Belegurschi's photos of Mt. Vestrahorn are ever so beautiful, as is his whole collection of Iceland photos. He has allowed me to use his photos for my travel blog, and

A Visit to Herjólfstown - Herjólfur's Viking House in the Westman Islands

A Visit to Herjólfstown - Herjólfur's Viking House in the Westman Islands

In Herjólfsdalur valley in the Westman Islands in South Iceland, you will find a turf and lava rock house that blends in perfectly with the landscape. It is a replica of Herjólfsbærinn - Herjólfur's old farmstead; a hypothetical farmstead of what might have been one of the oldest human habitation sites in my country, Iceland. It is believed to be the first rock house in Iceland.

The Westman Islands - the Settler, the Stave Church, and more interesting Things to see

In this travel blog, I want to tell you about a really interesting place to visit - Vestmannaeyjar, the volcanic Westman Islands in South Iceland, where, in 1973, a volcano erupted almost in the middle of the town. In a previous travel blog, I told you about the Kötlutangi pit, the southernmost point of the mainland of Iceland. The Westman Islands are even more south than Kötlutangi; the volcanic island is the southernmost point of Iceland.

The beautiful Brúarfoss Waterfall - is this the bluest River in Iceland

In my last travel blog, I showed you the massive waterfalls in the glacial river Jökulsá á Fjöllum. In this travel blog, I want to show you one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland: the powdery blue Brúarfoss, which flows in the spring-fed river Brúará, which I like to call the bluest river in Iceland. Top photo: Brúarfoss waterfall Hlauptungufoss waterfall Hlauptungufoss waterfall Now, let's start the hike to the waterfall and hike for a while in Iceland's pristine nature on the east side of the Brúará River. Along the way, you will see a couple of smaller waterfalls. The hike t

Jökulsá á Fjöllum Glacial River and the magnificent Waterfalls in Jökulsárgljúfur Canyon

In this travel blog, I want to show you the massive glacial river Jökulsá á Fjöllum - the Glacial River in the Mountains, which is the second longest river in Iceland (206 km). Jökulsá á Fjöllum is a roaring, turbulent milky white/greyish glacial river coming straight from Vatnajökull, Iceland's largest glacier, or its glacier tongue, Dyngjujökull, to be exact. The best-known waterfall in Jökulsá á Fjöllum is the massive Dettifoss waterfall.
