Ölkelda is a farm, situated close to Staðará í Staðarsveit, a part of Snæfellsbær. Ölkelda farm can be reached by taking the main road and travel 13 km due west of Vegamót, where at the intersection for Stykkishólmur, the road splits and one section of it heads on to and past Ölkelda farm. Ölkelda is equally also an Icelandic term for naturally carbonated (CO2) spring water, which has its roots in old Norse language, and the place name describes these same natural qualities that are found in natural earthen spring water on the premises of Ölkelda farm. In Icelandic, the term ölkelda thus equally describes a combination of öl, which depicts a natural combination of carbonic bubbles and water, and kelda, an old Norwegian term for a natural spring well, as well as being a specific place name for a farm on the west coast of Iceland. This naturally carbonated spring water can thus be sampled and tasted by natives and visitors as well, streaming straight up from the motherwell at its namesake, Ölkelda farm. The natural carbonic gas and water comes from molten lava slowly cooling down deep inside the earth's crust. The natural springs and well have had stone walls, the height of about 1m, erected around them for their own protection and the natural springs and well have for some time been graded and listed as a Nature preserve. Ölkelda farm is also a convenient point of departure for a hikers to head up some mountain trails that lay there and end up on mountain Grábrók (930 m), which is situated not so far from Ölkelda farm and natural springs. == References == * Sigurður Þórarinsson|Hverir og laugar|ölkeldur og kaldavermsl|Náttúruverndarráð|1978 * (The Coast Arnarstapi to Hellnar nat.is ) * () Vesturland.is, Afþreying og staðir, 14. júlí2010 * Þorsteinn Jósepsson|Steindór Steindórsson|Páll Líndal|Landið þitt Ísland, U-Ö|Örn og Örlygur|1982 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ölkelda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
