Hrafnkels saga trail

Hrafnkell's Saga Freysgoði takes place in East Iceland and recounts the conflicts between chieftains in the 10th century. Hrafnkell's farm in Fljótsdal is named so because Hrafnkell lived there for a time. Not far from the town, there is a historical sign that is part of a historical trail that can be followed over Fljótsdalsheiði and down to Hrafnkelsdal.
