Breidablik

In Norse mythology, Breiðablik (Broad-gleaming) is the home of Baldr. It is briefly described in Snorri Sturluson's Gylfaginning as one of the halls of Ásgarðr:


 * "Then there is also in that place the abode called Breidablik, and there is not in heaven a fairer dwelling."

Later in the work, when Snorri describes Baldr, he gives a longer description, citing Grímnismál, though he does not name the poem:


 * "He dwells in the place called Breidablik, which is in heaven; in that place may nothing unclean be, even as is said here:


 * Breidablik 't is called, | where Baldr has
 * A hall made for himself:
 * In that land | where I know lie
 * Fewest baneful runes."

Breiðablik is not otherwise mentioned in the Eddic sources.
