Helgafell, Jack's Flight Club… we're both in the business of granting wishes!
Translating to Holy Mountain in Icelandic, this spot has been considered sacred since pagan times — a safe haven where no person or animal could be harmed. Legend has it that upon reaching the top, you'll be granted 3 wishes. But not without jumping through a few hoops:
- First, find the grave of Guðrún (north of the church and cemetery)
- Ensure your mind is clear from negative patterns of thought while climbing the mountain
- Make a symbol of the cross, over Guðrún´s grave, with your right hand only
- Your face has to be washed (don't ask, we didn't write these rules)
- No speaking while climbing the mountain
- Do not look to the right or to the left – only look straight ahead
- Find the entrance to the small enclosure
- Face east (the town of Stykkishólmur is north)
- All wishes must be of good intention with no ill-harm
- Never ever share what you wished for
Us, on the other hand? All it takes to make your wishes come true is staying premium!
Oh, and a postcard doesn't hurt either—especially if you wanna cut the line ;-)
