The magic of Lake Mývatn

Guests at the two farms are almost spoilt for choice when it comes to excursions and attractions in the vicinity. Most guests head to lake Mývatn (25 km / 15.5 mi south), where one day seems to fly by when taking in the wonders of the north-Icelandic landscapes.

 
An Icelandic turf house and a waterfall seen through a rainbow

The neighbouring valley of Laxárdalur, where Iceland’s most famous salmon river is located, is only 12 km (7.5 mi) away from Langavatn-Klambrasel. There is a good heritage museum at Grenjarstaður (14 km / 9 mi), set in a large, Icelandic turf house. The swimming pool at Laugar is close by, and then it is ideal to finish the excursion at Goðafoss waterfall (31 km / 19 mi), one of the jewels of Iceland’s waterfalls.

 
The canyons Ásbyrgi and Jökulsárgljúfur

Ásbyrgi (80 km / 50 mi), a canyon that makes up the northern-most part of the Vatnajökull national park, is a paradise for hikers and nature lovers. Drive north of town Húsavík and by the Tjörnes cape to enter this exceptional area. Don’t miss the terrible beauty of the glacial river canyon Jökulsárgljúfur. One day-long excursion is hardly enough to explore this striking landscape, but yet long enough for a taste of this otherworldly beauty.
