Summary edit
| Description |
Íslenska: Getið er um laug í Reykholti (Snorralaug) í Landnámu en þessi er talin vera frá tímum Snorra Sturlusonar enda oft nefnd í Sturlungu. Hún var endurhlaðin 1858 og aftur 1959 óbreytt. Í slíkum laugum suntu menn ekki heldur sátu sér til hressingar í heitu vatninu og í Sturlungu segir: "Snorri sat í laugu". Jarðgöng lágu frá bænum svo að greiðari leið væri til laugar og einnig mátti flýja um þau, ef óvinir sóttu að. Talið er að þau hafi getað legið í kjallara þann sem Snorri flúði í er hann var veginn 12. september 1241.
English: The Book of Settlement mentions the existence of a natural warm pool at Reykholt. The present one supposedly dates back to historian Snorri Sturluson's time in the 13th century. It was restored in 1858 and again in 1959. The pool was used for bathing and relaxing, as written in Sturunga Saga. A tunnel gave easy access to it from the farmhouse, and could also be used as an emergency exit in case of attack. Legend has it that the tunnel led to the cellar where Snorri tried to hide from his enemies, Earl Gissur's men, before being slain by them on 12. September 1241. |
