Hvolsvöllur's Saga Centre is devoted to the dramatic events of Njál’s Saga, which took place in the surrounding hills. Interactive displays explain the many highlights of the story. In 2013 an intricate 90m embroidery called Njál's Saga Tapestry was begun; visitors can pay to add stitches (Ikr1000) to the enormous collaborative project, or just observe. There's also a longhouse cafe and tourist information (brochures, maps and helpful staff).
