One day, the boys\u2019 parents went with their ploughmen to a church. The boys were supposed to stay at home, but as they grew bored they decided to follow their parents. They made a shortcut and crossed a natural stone-bridge that was above the waterfall. But on their way, they felt dizzy and fell into the water and drowned. When their mother found out what had happened, she put a spell on the bridge saying that nobody would ever cross it without drowning himself. A little while later, the bridge was demolished in an earthquake.<\/p>\n<p>Recently the river has formed a tunnel through the cliff and made a new stone-bridge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element \">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<p><strong>Reykholt Church<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The new church in Reykholt was consecrated on July 28, 1996.

Some of the trolls in the Trolls\u2019 Park are quite scary looking. One of them is Gr\u00fdla, who is the mother of the Icelandic Yule Lads (J\u00f3lasveinar).

One day, the boys\u2019 parents went with their ploughmen to a church. The boys were supposed to stay at home, but as they grew bored they decided to follow their parents. They made a shortcut and crossed a natural stone-bridge that was above the waterfall. But on their way, they felt dizzy and fell into the water and drowned. When their mother found out what had happened, she put a spell on the bridge saying that nobody would ever cross it without drowning himself. A little while later, the bridge was demolished in an earthquake.<\/p> <p>Recently the river has formed a tunnel through the cliff and made a new stone-bridge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reykholt Church<\/strong><\/p> <p>The new church in Reykholt was consecrated on July 28, 1996. The church has old church bells, the Frobenius organ of Reykjav\u00edk Cathedral, award-winning stone windows and a baptismal font made of clay, a Norwegian gift. The baptismal font and altarpiece of the church in Reykholt date from around 1500, now the property of the National Museum. A new cross was erected for the foundation of the church in the summer of 2012.<\/p> <p>The old church in Reykholt was built in the years 1885 \u2013 1887 and was a parish church until 1996.<br \/>The old church and was restored as close to its original form as possible between 2001 and 2006.

His works includes the Prose Edda, Gylfaginning, and Heimskringla. Next to the old church is an ancient hot tub and what is left of a tunnel that lead to \u201cBa\u00f0stofa\u201d which was a living room in agent houses.
