Körmt and Örmt

Thor wades through a river while the æsir ride across the bridge Bifröst (1895) by Lorenz Frølich

Körmt and Örmt are two rivers in Norse mythology.

Thor wades through Körmt and Örmt, together with two other rivers called Kerlaugar, every day when he goes to judgment at the ash-tree, Yggdrasill. The source for this reference is a strophe in Grímnismál, one of the mythological poems of the Prose Edda.
