The walk takes about 30 to 50 minutes depending on the appointment, but visitors will be guided around the church where they can see church items, Gerðar Helgdóttir's stained glass windows and Nína Tryggvadóttir's altarpiece. We go to the museum in the basement of the church, where the stone coffin of Bishop Pál Jónsson is, but it is from the year 1211. We go out the underpass and out into the heritage area, into Þorláksbúð, but the walk ends at the Herb Garden up by the Hotel (Skálholtsskóla).
