Þjórsárdalur (Thjorsardalur) is a valley in southern Iceland, through which flows the country's longest river, Þjórsá. This historically significant area was once home to several Viking Age farmsteads that were abandoned following the devastating eruption of Mount Hekla in 1104. Archaeological excavations in the valley have revealed important insights into early Icelandic settlement patterns and medieval life.
Today, the valley is known for its diverse landscape featuring waterfalls, including the beautiful Hjálparfoss, volcanic formations, and the reconstructed Viking-age farm Þjóðveldisbærinn Stöng, which serves as an open-air museum. The area combines natural beauty with historical significance, making it an important site for understanding Iceland's cultural heritage.
