The book about the European champion of hearts. During the Euro 2016, the charming underdog captured hearts: Iceland, the crazy dream travel destination. Great landscapes await visitors here, along with very few people, all of whom are beautiful and somehow related to each other. A wealth of legends and myths surround the men and women of the North. They enjoy bathing naked in hot springs, fear women with beautiful hair, and mark on maps where fairies, dwarfs, and trolls reside. Thilo Mischke has been visiting the island near the Arctic Circle for many years and takes his readers on a journey through hellish bays and swan moors, to the gate of the underworld and the fortress of the gods, Asgard. In this book, he gathers everything about the quirky Icelanders, who turn comedians into mayors and directors into national goalkeepers.
