Hraunhreppur

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hraunhreppur (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈr̥œynˌr̥ɛhpʏr̥]) was formerly a rural parish (hreppur) in Mýrasýsla county, west Iceland. In 1994, Hraunhreppur united with Borgarnes, Norðurárdalshreppur and Stafholtstungnahreppur under the name Borgarbyggð, using the Borgarnes seal and offices.[citation needed]

The Hítardalur valley in Hraunhreppur parish is the location of one of Iceland's Singing Caves (Sönghellir).[1]

There was a major fire here in 2006.[citation needed]
