Hvolsvöllur (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈkʰvɔlsˌvœtlʏr̥, ˈxʷɔls-]) is a small town in the south of Iceland about 106 km to the east of Reykjavík.
The name of the town literally translates to "Hillfield". Hvoll [ˈkʰvɔtl̥, ˈxʷɔtl̥] (hvols [ˈkʰvɔls, ˈxʷɔls] in the genitive case) is an archaic form of the modern Icelandic word hóll [ˈhoutl̥], meaning "hill", and völlur [ˈvœtlʏr̥] means "field". The name is derived from the name of the historic farm Stórólfshvoll ([ˈstouːroul(f)sˌkʰvɔtl̥, -ˌxʷɔtl̥], "Stórólfur's hill").
I don't know when this place is open. I showed up at 7 pm on a Tuesday. The website for the tapestry said they were open on Tuesday evenings, but I suppose I was to make an appointment.

Excellent exhibit with great illustrations & just the right amount of detail conveyed in a way that most age groups will get something from it, without being too troubled by harsh details of Njáls Saga. The epic Njáls textile project underway and already dozens of yards long, is also worth a look, as is the adjacent local museum.

Well laid out time line of one of Icelands important Sagas. In English as well as Icelandic. Toilets. Lots of parking. Cafe on site.

Simple, but nice museum. Worth the stop.

Absolutely a great place for anyone interested in Brennunjálssaga. A museum dedicated to one of the best book ever written. Don't miss it.

We arrived on Sunday, May 13, when the museum was to open, at 10am, but the museum was closed. We waited around for over 10 minutes past 10am, and still it was not open, no lights on inside. Very disappointed.

Looks cool but neither entrance was open at 4pm on a Friday. I see the last 3 reviews say about the same.
