Djúpivogur - Búlandstindur Mountain Búlandstindur

The Castle of the Gods (Goðaborg) is a 1420m/4,660ft high mountain ridge to the east of Mt Búlandstindur.

Immediately after the acceptance of Christianity in the year 1000, Iceland's pagan priests demolished the idols in their temples threw them over the edge of this ridge.

Another tale tells how a young shepherd found gold in his shoes after he discovered a stash of stones inside the mountain guarded by an unfriendly bull.

It is believed the mountain may contain gold and the area is rich in jasper and marble.
