Asgard (Ásgarðr)

The trail begins with the enclosure itself. In Gylfaginning the sons of Borr build a city in the middle of the universe called Ásgarðr, where the gods and their kin live; Odin’s seat is there, and the gods meet in the hall Gladsheim. The entry notes that the name reads roughly as the enclosure of the Æsir, and that the sources do not say where it lies beyond “in the middle”. Grímnismál names separate dwellings inside it, and the trail visits them one by one.
