The Cave People of Laugarvatnshellir is a fascinating story about two families who lived in a cave in Iceland in the early 1900s. It's not your typical living situation, but these adventurous souls made it work. They turned the cave into a cozy home, complete with a living room, kitchen, and even space for their animals. They planted a potato garden and sold coffee and cakes to passers-by. The cave was believed to be haunted or inhabited by elves, adding an extra layer of intrigue. Today, you can visit the restored cave and learn about the lives of these cave dwellers. It's a unique experience that gives you a glimpse into Iceland's history and folklore.
