Overview

Ancient man-made caves have been discovered on the land of Ægissíða by Hella. Five of them have been open to the public. Some believe they date further back than the settlement of the Nordic Vikings.  

The wonders of the Caves of Hella include ancient crosses, wall carvings and carved seats.

Mystery surrounds the caves and for centuries people have wondered:
