Ancient Historical Site Tour in de grotten van Hella
Beschrijving
Op het land Ægissíða zijn twaalf oude door de mens gemaakte grotten ontdekt door Hella aan de zuidkust van IJsland. Vijf daarvan zijn nu opengesteld voor het publiek tijdens onze rondleidingen. De historische site is IJslands oudste nog bestaande archeologische overblijfselen, sommigen geloven dat de grotten nog verder teruggaan dan de nederzetting van de Noordse Vikingen. De wonderen van de Grotten van Hella omvatten oude kruisen, muurschilderingen en gebeeldhouwde stoelen. De grotten zijn omgeven door mysterie en eeuwenlang hebben mensen zich afgevraagd: Zijn de grotten het handwerk van de Kelten? Waren de grotten een plaats van oude aanbidding? De grotten zijn een historische bezienswaardigheid waar je meer te weten komt over verborgen geheimen en andere onuitgesproken verhalen uit de geschiedenis van IJsland. Ga mee met een van onze lokale gidsen om de geheimen van onze grotten te ontdekken en ervaar de magische Onderwereld van het Zuiden. De Grotten liggen direct naast Route 1 (de Ringweg), op ongeveer een uur rijden van Reykjavik.

We really enjoyed our tour of the caves. It surpassed our expectations. The guide was very knowledgable and entertaining. This place just got started in 2020 and is already something fabulous. It will just get better as time goes on.
Thank yo so much for the review, we really appreciate it. Your nice words encourages us to continue on the same path. Best regards, Ólöf
The marketing perhaps misrepresents the caves and what you will see. There are multiple man made caves dotting the south coast of Iceland though these were the only we found we could explore. It is interesting to see how they were dug out and learn of the uses of the caves but most of that is in relatively modern times. Which is fine and still very interesting. We enjoyed the tour but it was definitely something that was over promised and under delivered. The Guide was knowledgeable, fun, and helped make this tour more interesting.

The Caves of Hella Tour was amazing. The caves themselves were beautiful, and I was able to get lots of amazing pictures. What I didn’t expect was the amazing and rich history I learned on my tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, and the history was very interesting, and we definitely learned things we wouldn’t have online or anywhere else (the good and the bad!) I would highly recommend to anyone thinking about going!!!
