The Giganta in the cave
Svartihellir við smábátahöfnina í Gróf, 230 ReykjanesbærReykjanes
The Giganta in the mountain moved to the Town of Reykjanes during the family and cultural festival Night of Lights in 2008 and is now located in Black Cave at the marina in Gróf. There the Giganta has been settling in her nice cave with its superb view over the bay of Keflavík and Faxaflói.
The Giganta is originally the creation of author Herdís Egilsdóttir who has written 16 stories about the little girl Sigga and her friend the Giganta in the mountain, the last one describing her migration to the Town of Reykjanes.
The design and making of the cave and the Giganta was in the hands of Norðanbál art group. The Giganta is full-sized and sits sleeping in a rocking chair in the kitchen.
Opening hours 10:00-17:00 every day (except when weather conditions inhibit visits)
