Abandoned Viking Tunnel 

Have you ever wanted to unleash your inner Viking? Well, one location in Iceland is allowing visitors just that opportunity.

By driving down a little rock street curving far from the principle course among Höfn and Djúpivogur, inquisitive guests will touch base at what gives off an impression of being a remote Viking town in perfect condition. As a general rule, it is a film set for an Icelandic motion picture that was never recorded, however you'd be pardoned for confusing it with the genuine article.

Worked in 2010, the set is situated on the place that is known for a nearby rancher. For a little charge, he enables guests to meander around the stunning area, which is at long last planned to make its presentation one year from now in a film by Universal.

After going beyond anyone's ability to see of the nearby Viking Café set up to engage visitors, guests will have the capacity to see the phony settlement out yonder. The rancher's ponies munch adjacent on the fields underneath the shadow of the mountain, adding additional genuineness to the environment. Subsequent to entering the town dividers, you are allowed to wander around the site voluntarily. This offers the one of a kind chance to watch the perfect detail that goes into the formation of a film set.

The most striking component of the town is the structures, which primate the engineering of the period brilliantly. Visitors can pry open the wooden entryways and end up inside a scope of rooms that look relatively undefined from the genuine article. However, this isn't the main bit of period detail; the settlement additionally comes furnished with a cell situated underneath a huge counterfeit rock.

The motion picture the town was made for was never really recorded because of subsidizing issues. From that point onward, the area has sat tight in limbo for a generation organization to tag along and use it. As of late, the hold up at long last finished when Universal procured the rights to create Vikingr, a movie by the Icelandic chief Baltasar Kormákur. This film is relied upon to begin generation one year from now, with a portion of the shooting occurring at the settlement.

In the interim, the area stays open to general society. This implies those sufficiently inquisitive to stray from Iceland's capital of Reykjavik can in any case pretend any looting dreams.
