There is a very lovely wishing well close to the Christmas House, a few minutes from Akureyri. It is called The Wishing well of unborn children,in Icelandic "Óskabrunnur ófæddra barna". This is a a place of tranquility and peace.
It is mostly composed of square tesserae, in pale or golden colors. The design is the typical stork carrying bags containing babies.
On a sign there is written:
"We all have wishes related to children.
We wish to have children and want to bring them
all the happiness in the world.
Grandparents wish to hear again the pat of footsteps.
Big sister and big brother wish to have small brothers and sisters.
Friends wish their friends to have children
and an unborn child has all our deepest wishes.
Walk to the well and make a silent wish.
Touch the surface of the water and your wish will join
all good wishes in the wishing well
for children of the future".
There is a parking lot by the Christmas House in Eyjafjörður. The Christmas House is on the left from the parking lot and The Wishing well on the right hand side.
