Þrístapar

Worth stopping and walking along the path and reading all of the signs along the pathway. There is a big sign at the beginning that is worth skipping because the newer plaques give you much more detail into the significance of the site. I was impressed be how much attention was put into a seemingly random stop.

It’s the location of the last public executions in Iceland. Not the last executions which happened at a later date. This is when decided to do away with them publicly in 1830.

The whole place is being redeveloped, there is a new parking area and tarmac path to the site with information boards telling the interesting but tragic tale of those involved. Well worth a visit if you're passing.

Nice piece of information about at interesting historical moments. Nice to have informations about the people involved and the broader historical context.

Good historical stop along the road. Great sunset views. There is a designated spot for parking & the trail for the park starts right where you park.

Adorable place to admire the beauty of Icelandic wild horses and learn more about Iceland history and poetry.

Interesting story about the last execution in Iceland, as well as executions in the world today.

Interesting piece of history here. The last execution in Iceland took place here in 1830. It is a 2-3 minute walk from the signage. The bodies were interred without ceremony at the site of execution and their heads displayed on pikes. Their bodies were later reburied in the cemetery at Tjörn in Vatnsnes.

This is the location of the last execution in Iceland. And Icelandic Horses in the pasture along the walkway.

Creepy place. Beautiful scenery with recreations of history.

The plot and storytelling in this one is actually interesting and captivating. It's not only just an execution spot but more of a walk-through story

Currently being updated but all the info plaques were really good to understand the story. Had to make the stop reading the book Burial Rites and it was a very interesting place to stop

Very well made educational walk with lots of interesting informations about history of death penatlties in iceland and in the world

The place if the last execution of Iceland. Well portrayed and informative with a little walk of the sight.

Very interesting story of the last set of executions in Iceland - follow the path to read the placards

Very dramatic story, deserves a dedicated movie.

Historical stop along the road. Good for pictures, a hike and to learn something.

Read up on the lore, banger story

The best excecution site I’ve ever seen

Histroschier Ort, interessant mit gut erklärter Geschichte der Hinrichtungen in Island insbesondere der letzten die hier stattfand.
Liegt an der Strecke ist also leicht erreichbar und die Besichtigung dauert nicht lang!

מקום היסטורי שבו הוצאו להורג אנשים בפעם האחרונה. כיום משמש למרעה סוסים.
מקום פסטורלי ונוף מקסים.
