Moorland Gemlufallsheidi (283 m.) lies between the Bear Valley of the Onundarfiord Bay and the Dyrafiord Bay.
This area is one of the stages of events of the so-called Gisla Saga. In the Bear Valley are the ruins of the farm Arnkelsbrekka, also a part of the events of Gisla Saga. The ruins of the summer and winter pasture houses of the reverends of Holt are also in the valley. The shepherds had to stay there alone for long periods of time during winter and had noone to talk to other than the ghosts.
