Sýn — see the legends come to life!
Kringum's new AR feature places Iceland's folklore right in front of you, at the very spots where the stories happened. Visit any of nearly 150 Sýn-marked locations around the country, raise your phone, and meet them face to face:
• Trolls and troll women at the cliffs and caves they haunted
• Elf women of the huldufólk by their rocky dwellings
• The ghosts Móri and Skotta from Iceland's most famous hauntings
• Icelandic sheep and horses in full size
• Litla-Brekka, the last turf farm in Reykjavík, standing again where it was demolished in 1980
No special glasses needed — just your phone and an AR-capable device. Sýn is included with Explorer Access.
