Thorolf's Holy Mountain

[vildsvin]

To this day, Helgafell has a special quality about it. On the grassy summit there are the remains of a small stone structure that some people think was once a chapel, and from there the view over the farthest reaches of Breithafjorthur and its innumerable islands is breath-taking. Tradition has it that those who make the short, steep climb up the hill without either talking or looking back will have three wishes granted, if they face towards the east, tell no one what the wishes were, and wish them from a good and true heart.

- Magnus Magnusson (1987)
