Landwidi

Landwidi ( old north. Landviði - "wide land"), perhaps only as Widi or Vidi , is the place of residence of the god Vidar in Norse mythology . It is not certain whether the expression land viði is to be regarded as a proper name or as "wide land".

“
Widars Land Widi is green with bushes and tall grass .
Then the son climbs on the saddle of the mare
ready to avenge his father. "

- Edda , Grímnismál , verse 17
