Saga og þjóðsögur
Hafnarfjörður — the 'fjord harbour' — is a town directly adjacent to Reykjavík that was the main commercial port of Iceland for centuries before Reykjavík grew to dominate. British and Hanseatic merchants traded here from the 14th century. The town is now famous as Iceland's 'Elf Town' — a detailed map of huldufólk (hidden people) territories has been drawn up, and certain building projects have been routed around reported elf habitations. The town's volcanic lava formations, particularly in Hellisgerði park, are cited as prime elf territory. The Viking Village at Fjörukráin is Iceland's most-booked Viking themed experience: a hotel and restaurant run as a full Norse setting with staff in period costume.
