Bardarlaug at Hellnar is a crater pool and  said to have been the bathing pool of the Bardur Snaefellsas.  This demi-troll, instead of dying like ordinary people, made his home in the Snaefellsjökul glacier according to local legend. 

Bardur is the patron of the glacier and was said to have had psychic abilities, being able to communicate with the hidden people.

Djupalonssandur is a beautiful pebbled beach, with a series of rocks of mysterious form emerging from the ocean. It is one of the few areas that lead down to the sea along this coast with its high dramatic cliffs.  Watch out for the famous ghosts roaming the place! The rests of a shipwreck can be seen on the beach.

On the beach there are also 4 big stones which people tried to lift and test their strength in the days of the fishing stations: Fully Strong 154 kg, Half-Strong 100 kg, Weakling 54 kg and Bungler 23 kg.

Weakling marked the frontier of wimphood, any man who couldn't lift it was deemed unsuitable for a life as a fisherman.
