Helgafell
Helgafell is the holy mountain that figured so prominently in Icelandic
history and literature. In reality, it's a 73m (240ft) hill, yet it
apparently still retains some of its magic, and those who follow a few
simple rules while climbing it are entitled to have three wishes granted.
First, you must climb the southwest slope to the temple ruins without
speaking or glancing backwards. Second, the wishes must be for good and
made with a guileless heart. Third, you must descend the eastern slope and
never reveal your wishes to anyone. Helgafell is 5km (3mi) south of
Stykkishólmur, in West Iceland.

Note that there are several places of the same name, including the
volcanic cone on Heimaey. This particular one, however, is near
Stykkishólmur.
