Reykholt was home of Snorri Sturluson, Iceland's greatest Saga writer, poet and historian. Today, Reykholt is still one of Iceland's main historical and cultural sites.
Guests at Fosshótel Reykholt can learn about the Norse mythology, which refers to the pre-Cristian religion, beliefs and legends of the Scandinavian people. Artwork, sculptures, illustrarions and explanations of the Norse gods, the Asatru religion, the Yggdrasil ash tree and the runes provide insight into a world of wisdom, spiritual might and holiness of Norse mythology. Each hotel corridor and area is aptly named after different themes and exhibits as you meet many of the main gods, such as Odin, Thor, Freyja, Loki, Frigg and Freyr.
Fosshotel Reykholt hosts one of the world´s largest exhibition of Norse Mythology and also shows how this indigenous religion is used in modern life, like stamps, comics, music, jewlery, Lord of the Rings, literature, games and much more.
