Drangurinn, also known as the Old Sheep Houses, is a peculiar rock in South Iceland with some intriguing elf stories attached to it. According to Icelandic folklore, the rock was used as cowsheds by farmers, and strange occurrences would happen if humans interfered while cows were giving birth. There are tales of elves living in the rock, attending to the cows and even marrying humans! It's a fascinating spot that adds a touch of mystique to Iceland's beautiful landscapes.
