The area around Oyndarfjørdur is wonderful hiking country, but its secret attraction actually lies beneath the sea. Rinkusteinar, or the rocking stones, are two huge boulders just beyond the shore near the village. As the sea ebbs and flows around them, the Rinkusteinar rock gently back and forth. Why these huge stones rock in the sea remains a mystery, but legend has it that an old sorceress in Oyndarfjør?ur laid a spell on two threatening pirate ships, turning them into boulders which were to stand restless by the water’s edge, rocking forever.
