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.

You will learn all about the Icelandic Elves, Trolls, Ghosts like the Deacon of the dark river, the unique mostly aquatic monsters, the 13 Santa (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 to Icelandic magic and the runes of old. On 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 life, so this people obviously love to tell stories, and you sure won't be disappointed by joining this walk and hearing a couple.

It's perfect for those who want a little adventure in their life because the story's come alive on this walk.
