Systrastapi is a steep rocky hill west of Kirkjubæjarklaustur. Folklore says that on top of it two nuns of the monestary are buried after being burned at the stake for violating codes of ethics. One is supposed to have sold herself to the Devil, carried consecrated Communion bread past the door of the privy, and had carnal knowledge with men. The other spoke blasphemously of the Pope. After the Reformation the latter nun was regarded as innocent and beautiful flowers grew on her grave, while the other one's grave remained barren. The rocky hill can be ascended and from the top the view of glaciers, among other things, is amazing. You can walk to it and go on top of it if you dare : )
