Olkelda is the Icelandic name for a mineral spring.
Quite a few of them are scattered over the Snaefells Peninsula. One of
them is near the fishing town Grundarfiord, more accurately in the
slopes above the retirement home of the town. The water from this
spring usually is very good for consumption.
Another one is
easily accessible from the main road on the southern side of the
peninsula at the farm Olkelda, where people have been drinking the
water for centuries and thus prolonging their lives, as they say. |
