Viking story night
at Mr Iceland farm, home of Njál’s saga
At Mr Iceland farm, history isn’t locked away in museums: it lives in voices, food, and community. Viking Story Night invites you to step into this living tradition: meet Icelandic horses, share simple tastings of local food, and listen as storyteller Valdimar Flygenring brings Njál’s Saga and Icelandic folklore to life in the very place they were born.
In Iceland, we do not have Castles we have Sagas
Across much of the world, history is held behind stone walls and glass cases. In Iceland, it lives in words – carried by people, passed from one voice to the next.
Efri-Úlfsstaðir is one of those places where stories were never meant to be silent.
This farm is known as the historic home of Njál’s Saga, a story that has shaped Iceland’s ideas of honor, justice, friendship, and consequence for over a thousand years.
Viking Story Night is an invitation to step into that tradition – not as a spectator, but as a guest.
The evening begins quietly
An evening that unfolds slowly
You arrive at a working farm in South Iceland, where the land is open, the wind is present, and the pace is unhurried. Before any story is told, you are welcomed into the stable to meet the Icelandic horses: calm, observant, and deeply connected to farm life.
Spending a few moments with them allows the outside world to fall away. This is where the evening truly begins.
If you wish, you may wear a traditional Icelandic wool cape: simple, practical, and made for real use. These garments have protected farmers, travelers, and storytellers for generations, long before they became symbols.
From the stable, you move into the old barn hall
Gathering at the table
The space is modest and honest: gravel underfoot, concrete walls, candlelight casting soft shadows. Guests sit together at a long wooden table: locals and travelers side by side, without separation.
As the stories begin, small tastings of traditional Icelandic food are shared: hákarl, dried fish, smoked lamb, Brennivín, and Icelandic malt drink.
The food is not a course or a spectacle.
It is part of the gathering: passed by hand, tasted slowly, just as it has always been.

Should beginners ride Icelandic horses?
This is probably the most asked question we get from our guests and the answer is ABSOLUTELY YES!
Beginners are welcome. Our horseback riding tours are beginner-friendly, with experienced guides and gentle horses. Whether it’s your first time or you’re an expert, we tailor the experience to your skill level. However, you should be in a relatively good physical shape and balanced mentally.
It is important that you go to the right farm with the right kind of horses that will fit your riding level.
In order for you to get a real experience you should have a riding lesson so you can control your horse. Many of the large operators have horses that have been taking the same circle for years and in our mind that is not a horse friendly and definitely not a authentic horse riding experience. You want a horse that is in good mental and physical health that is going to create a true relationship with the rider which takes the experience to another level.
During your riding lessons we make sure that rider and horse develop a connection that is real, and rider feels in control of the situation but at the same time the horse accepts the rider as its leader. This is often the most rewarding part of the entire tour and not only enjoying a magic scenery but experiencing the trust that rider and horse share.
