Rakkaberg

Iceland is renown for its rich and vibrant folklore, rife with stories of magical creatures and mischievous spirits like the Huldufólk. Rising from the ground at a seemingly impossible angle, the Rakkaberg is an sharp vertical ridge so striking in appearance that it almost lends credence to these wondrous tales. Legend has it that the Rakkaberg is not a natural phenomenon at all, but is a church built by the Huldufólk for worship. Whether the legends surrounding this anomalous rock formation are fact or fiction, what no one can deny is the remarkable beauty of the Rakkaberg, with its rugged rockface soaring skyward from an otherwise flat terrain.
