Activities

In the South Iceland both old and young can choose from several activities for their recreation and entertainment. Tourist service in connection with horses is more common than in most other places. Here history is always close at hand; here the old Althing (Parliament) was held at Thingvellir and here is the setting of Njála (the story of Burnt Njal). The Bishops of the country sat at Skálholt. In the South interesting museums, historically important places, galleries and handicraft centers can be found.

For those who want to enjoy the outdoors there is good fishing in rivers and lakes, good golf courses and swimming pools and beautiful walks for those who really want to enjoy being out of doors. Few places in the country can boast of more magnificent natural phenomena; beautiful waterfalls please the eye, hot springs spout boiling water and the volcanoes might always erupt with fire and smoke. We live in a hard country and have learnt to survive.

We invite our visitors to enjoy our beautiful country and its nature with us and we also offer various kinds of recreation.
