Botnstjörn

Deep in cliffs of Ásbyrgi there is a birch forest and a peaceful pond. Many believe that elves and hidden people live in the place but most can at least see the fascinating bird life. The pond was carved by the outburst floods that created Ásbyrgi. During spring and in heavy rainfall a small waterfall falls into the pond.
