"Icelanders’ love affair with nature is in evidence at Hólavallagarður, just west of the city center, near Tjörnin Pond. An endangered species of moss coats portions of the wall ringing the eight-acre property. Inside the moss-covered wall that rings the eight-acre property, narrow paths wind around headstones, some adorned with barely discernible engravings, while a tangle of trees bearing gnarled branches stands guard."
National Geographic utser Hólavallagarður i Reykjavík till en av Europas fem vackraste begravningsplatser.
