Þjóðsögur

Saga og þjóðsögur

Gjárétt is a historic site in Capital Region that connects visitors to Iceland's long human history. Iceland was settled by Norse Vikings in the 9th century, and for the next thousand years, Icelanders lived close to the land in turf-walled farms, surviving harsh winters and relying on sheep, fishing, and community. These sites preserve the memory of that way of life.
