Borgarfjörður

On one day (once the cloud was finally and more or less gone), I took a walk around and saw Lindarbakki and the Álfaborg.

Lindarbakki is a small and beautiful turf house from around 1900 when trading started in Borgarfjörður. It’s the last turf house remaining and is nowadays used as a summer house by their owners.

The rock called Álfaborg (or the Palace of the Elves) was a common belief that the rock was the manor of the highest-ranking amongst the elves, such as chieftains and the King and Queen of the elves in East-Iceland. In this area, it is believed to be a myriad of elves. It is also believed that the Queen of the elves of East-Iceland, Borghildur, resides in Álfaborg!
