´¡Ã°²¹±ô²úó±ô


Rte F923 (off Rte 910, for 4WDs only) leads you to the valley of Hrafnkelsdalur, full of sites relating to Hrafnkell’s Saga. The remote farm ´¡Ã°²¹±ô²úó±ô was the home of the saga’s hero, Hrafnkell Freysgoði, and his burial mound is here. There’s a marked saga trail, threading together places mentioned in the story. There's a guesthouse and campground here.

You can also access ´¡Ã°²¹±ô²úó±ô from the Ring Road – it's 43km on unsealed Rte 923 (which becomes an F road south of the farm, where there is a river to ford).
