Breiðablik

Breiðablik is the hall Baldr built for himself. Grímnismál says it stands in the land where the speaker knows the fewest crimes, and Gylfaginning says it is not inferior to any other in beauty. The name is translated “broad sheen” or “far-shining”. The entry adds that the poem says no harmful runes are there and that Gylfaginning says nothing unclean can enter. It is the most peaceful dwelling on the trail, described more by what is absent than by what is there.
