    The area is rich in folklore; according to Icelandic culture, the lava caves are said to be the homes of trolls. The most infamous of these are Grýla and her husband Leppalúði, as well as their thirteen sons, known as the 'Icelandic Santas' or Yule Lads.

      Shortly after the entrance you only have 1 viewpoint on the right and two viewpoints on the left. Before the visit you must choose a color code and follow posts.

        Be sure to visit the viewpoints. Watch out for trolls!
