The colourful Sogin - Litlu Landmannalaugar on the Reykjanes Peninsula

The colourful Sogin - Litlu Landmannalaugar on the Reykjanes Peninsula

Most visitors to Iceland have heard about Landmannalaugar, the Pearl of the Central Highland of Iceland. But have you heard about the miniature version of Landmannalaugar: Sogin on the Reykjanes peninsula? It is sometimes referred to as Litlu Landmannalaugar = the Little Landmannalaugar, and is a hidden pearl on the Reykjanes peninsula, a UNESCO Geosite. I visited Sogin a couple of years ago and fell in love with this beautiful place. Top photo: hiking in Sogin Colourful Sogin I waited a couple of years to write about Sogin because I realized its natural beauty is delicate and sensitiv

Sænautasel Turf House in the Highland of Iceland

Sænautasel Turf House in the Highland of Iceland

In my search for turf houses around Iceland, I visited the lovely little turf house Sænautasel, which is a rebuilt turf house on Jökuldalsheiði heath in the highland of Iceland. It is, in my opinion, a charming turf house, built from scratch from the remains of an earlier turf house. Top photo: at Sænautasel Sænautasel turf house Sænautasel dates back to 1843, and for 95-100 years, people lived in such a turf house until 1943, when the last people moved out. From 1841 until 1862, with an increasing population and demand for land to build on, sixteen turf houses were built on the hea

Helgufoss Waterfall - is it named after Helga the Daughter of Bárður Snæfellsás

Helgufoss Waterfall - is it named after Helga the Daughter of Bárður Snæfellsás

On the land of Bringur in the Mosfellsdalur valley, you will find a lovely little waterfall called Helgufoss - the Waterfall of Helga, the only waterfall by this name in Iceland. We, locals, love visiting this waterfall on a sunny day, and it is heavenly to picnic in this tranquil, picturesque setting. The last time I visited Helgufoss, I noticed many people on the path and by the waterfall, so the word has spread. The paths were being fixed, and steps were being added down the hill. On wet days, the path can get quite muddy, and my husband fell flat on his face in the mud during our last v

Hiking to Drangajökull Glacier & the Sights by Snæfjallastrandarvegur 635

Hiking to Drangajökull Glacier & the Sights by Snæfjallastrandarvegur 635

In this travel blog, I want to show you the sights along Snæfjallastrandarvegur, Road 635, in the Westfjords of Iceland. Here we find the only fjord in Ísafjarðardjúp within the Jökulfirðir fjords, and this detour from the main road 61 is well worth the 40 km drive to the end of the road. I will show you the hike to Drangajökull glacier, the only glacier in the Westfjords, and visit three churches and two exhibitions on the way. Top photo: by the base of Drangajökull glacier Hiking to Drangajökull glacier Flowers on the hike to Drangajökull glacier I love exploring the side-roads and

Tjörneslögin Fossils, Lignite Mines & the Waterfall Skeifárfoss on the Tjörnes Peninsula

Tjörneslögin Fossils, Lignite Mines & the Waterfall Skeifárfoss on the Tjörnes Peninsula

I love visiting waterfalls in Iceland, and I am especially fond of the so-called bridal veil waterfalls. I found one such waterfall hidden away up north on the Tjörnes peninsula. This beautiful coastal waterfall is called Skeifárfoss - the Waterfall in the Skeifá river. This area is also well-known for the unique Tjörneslögin sedimentary strata, and during WWI, there were two lignite mines in this area. Top photo: Skeifárfoss waterfall Touching the rainbow by Skeifárfoss Skeifárfoss waterfall cascades down from a sedimentary cliff like a bridal veil, and the river Skeifá runs its way for

Was the first Christian Church in Iceland built at Esjuberg in Kjalarnes?

Was the first Christian Church in Iceland built at Esjuberg in Kjalarnes?

A beautiful Celtic stone cross has been erected at the outdoor altar at Esjuberg, Kjalarnes, in southwest Iceland. Do you know why it was erected in this spot? Landnámabók, the Icelandic Book of Settlements, tells us that the Christian settler Örlygur gamli built the first Christian church in Iceland here at Esjuberg around the year 900. So the site of the Celtic cross might be the oldest church site in Iceland. And as such, it deserves a memorial. Top photo: the memorial altar and the Celtic stone cross The altar and the Celtic cross The exact location of the old church is unknown, as

The mystical Caves of Hella - are they the Oldest Man-made Structure in Iceland

The mystical Caves of Hella - are they the Oldest Man-made Structure in Iceland

In the southern part of Iceland, from Ölfus to Vík, you will find ancient caves that are very easily accessible. In this area, more than a hundred man-made caves have been discovered. The best-known of these caves are the mystical Ægissíðuhellar - Hellarnir á Hellu - the Caves of Hella. They are among the largest man-made caves in Iceland. I joined two guided tours of the caves to learn as much as possible about their origin, which remains a mystery to us. Top photo: Inside the Caves of Hella - a passageway between two caves Inside the caves of Hella - Fjóshellir Through the years, I ha

The Saga Locations of Gísli the Outlaw Súrsson in the Westfjords of Iceland

The Saga Locations of Gísli the Outlaw Súrsson in the Westfjords of Iceland

In this travel blog, I want to tell you about the Saga protagonist Gísli Súrsson, who was one of Iceland's best-known outlaws. Gísli's saga is told in Gísla saga Súrssonar - the Saga of Gísli the Outlaw. We Icelanders know this story well, as we have to read it in school when we are teenagers. Gísli was on the run for 13 years in the Westfjords of Iceland, after having killed his brother-in-law in his bed-closet while his pregnant sister was lying next to her husband! Now, what possessed him to do such a terrible thing? Top photo: Elfar Logi Haukadalsgoði on a guided Saga tour of Haukadalu

The lovely little Village Þingeyri in the Westfjords of Iceland

In the beautiful Westfjords of Iceland, you will find many of Iceland's pearls of nature, some of which I have shown you in other travel blogs. And in the many fjords in the Westfjords, small hamlets are dotted along the coastline. In this travel blog, I am going to show you what I found of interest in the lovely hamlet Þingeyri in Dýrafjörður fjord. Top photo: The view of Þingeyri and Gemlufallsheiði heath from the top of Mt. Sandafell Dýrafjarðargöng tunnel Access to Þingeyri is much easier now that a new tunnel was opened in 2020, connecting the Arnarfjörður and Dýrafjörður fjords. So
