Helgafellssveit

The region extends across rolling hills and volcanic formations along the northern coast of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula at coordinates 64.9735°N, -22.8208°W.

Established in 884 by settler Þórólfur Mostraskegg, who declared the local mountain sacred and established rules about washing and animal protection in the area.

The region maintains strong connections to Norse mythology and Viking history through its landmarks, names, and traditional farming practices passed down through generations.

Visitors access the area through road networks connecting to Stykkishólmur, where accommodations and essential services support exploration of the surrounding landscapes.

The local mountain grants three wishes to first-time climbers who ascend silently from a specific grave without looking back or sharing their desires.
