Bóla, a farm where the poet Hjálmar Jónsson (1796–1875), lived for some time and from which he got his name, Bólu–Hjálmar. A memorial to him has been erected by the road. The farm is named for the slave–woman, possibly a giantess, Bóla from Silfrastaðir, who escaped and hid in the rocky canyon Bólugil above the farm, from where she made forays to steal farmers’ crops and cattle until she was finally killed by Skeljungur, the shepherd (and later ghost, see above) at Silfrastaðir. The canyon is very rugged with many waterfalls, some of which can be seen from the road.
