What to expect?
Iceland is sometimes called the land of the Sagas and on this walk, you get the chance to hear many interesting sagas involving the hidden people and creatures of Iceland
We will tell you all about the Icelandic Elves, Trolls, Ghosts like the Deacon
of the dark river, the unique mostly aquatic monsters, the 13 Santa's (it's
not enough to have just one Santa Claus in Iceland after all ;))
their mother the child eating troll called Grýla and finally the only known
serial killer of Iceland in a land where it's easy to get lost in the lava
fields...
You will also get an introduction into Icelandic magic and the runes of old
In the long winter nights in Iceland storytelling has been the primary
entertainment for people so there are reasons why Icelanders love books and
have the highest literacy rate in the world.
1 in 10 Icelanders writes a book in his lifetime so we obviously love to tell
stories and you sure won't be disappointed by joining our walk and hearing a
couple
J.R.R. Tolkien was heavily influenced by Norse mythology and the Icelandic Sagas when he wrote The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit so we will explain some of the fun similarities between our worlds
It's perfect for those who want a little adventure in their life because the
story's come alive on our walk.
For families, please keep in mind that some of the stories can be scary to
little children so it's also possible to contact us regarding
a private walk where we can dial the scariness down a notch ;).
