In Grímnismál, Freyr sneaks into Odin’s hall (Valaskjálf) and sits in his throne Hlidskjalf and looks out of the window over the nine realms. It is from here he sees the beautiful jötunn Gerd, and immediately falls in love with her.
Hlidskjalf (Old Norse: Hliðskjálf) is one of Odin’s favorite spots, he is a very curious god, and watching people throughout the world is probably very interesting to him.
Odin has a deep hunger for more knowledge, and watching how the world interacts with each other, is likely to please him.
