Reykholt

Overview

Introduction

Reykholt, Iceland, near Borgarnes in the west, was the home of Snorri Sturluson, a beloved writer from the 13th century, and central to the Viking sagas. The beautiful countryside, seated in a valley between big hills, is the second largest agriculture area in Iceland. Just beyond the valley is Deildartunguhver, Europe's most powerful geyser, which provides heat for homes over a large area.
