Description
Reykholt was home to Snorri Sturluson, Iceland's greatest saga writer, poet and historian. Today, it is still one of Iceland's main historical and cultural sites. Here guests will find 2 beautiful churches, Snorri's natural hot pool, Snorralaug, Heimskringla and Snorrastofa, an exhibition of Snorri's writing and a research centre for medieval studies. Just a few minutes' drive from Reykholt are the waterfalls of Hraunfossar and Barnafossar, Europe's most powerful hot spring, Deildartunguhver, and several lava tubes and caves.
