Hiking
Some caves in the area are so large that they could even sleep several people.
The area is surrounded by legends and myths. According to Icelandic folklore, Dimmuborgir is home to a murderous troll Gryla, her third husband and their sons The Yule Lads. The sons return in the snow to give the children presents or rotten potatoes, depending on whether they had behaved well or not.
