Iceland - Staðarborg sheep shelter │ Part 200

* * * Hidden Gem deep in the Lava field * * * It is not advisable to hike this route alone in the winter. I started the hike on a beautiful, sunny winter morning, but on the way home, there was a snowstorm, so it was easy to get lost. Staðarborg is a sheep shelter, round in shape and constructed skillfully from lava rocks. Situated 2-3 km from the former parsonage Kalfatjorn in a direct line from there to Mt Dyngja. It is about two metres high, 8 m in diameter, and 35 m in circumferance. The ground inside it is flat and covered with grass. No sources reveal its age, but it is considered to be a few centuries old. According to the legend, a man named Gudmundur built it for the reverend at Kalfatjorn. He worked elaborately at the construction, collecting stones from the surrounding area to have a large selection to chose from to fit them together as perfectly as possible. He planned to close it with a cone-shaped roof of stones, but the reverend envisioned it higher and more prominent than his church´s steeple and stopped the construction work. The stonemason left it exactly as we see it today. It was declared inviolate in 1951. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *** TIMEFRAME *** 00:00 let’s start the wolk and find Staðarborg - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - if you are a fellow video creator, let me support you too. – Please watch the video in 2K because the compression is so high in HD that it degrades the image quality - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thank you for watching.
