An enchanting park with many delightful features. Most importantly, the huldufólk (hidden people) live here. It is said that they enjoy visitors. Regardless, remember to respect the huldufólk.
Beautiful park. My husband and I stopped here on here for a short walk. Lots of information signs telling stories of the history and the elves. There was unfortunately a bit of trash here went we went.
A wonderful and relaxing place place to visit with family or friends! During winter time with so many Christmas lights, green or white perfect to visit, smell fresh forest and clean air! Strongly recomand to visit, enjoy nature, relax on bench , warm at fire, drink something or warm with a hot chocolate, cofee...
Good garden and cozy with Xmas lights for now in des. Not big but cozy. Beautiful and history here.
Two incredible huge friendly cuddly furry cats who kept following me and my mom around and begging to be pet. The park is genuinely lovely too and the story of it being founded by a debate club really cute too
