Get to know the past way of life of farmers in the Icelandic highlands by joining this incredible one-hour guided tour through the immersive Wilderness Center Exhibition. Travelers eager to discover East Iceland's history and culture in an incredible nature setting should book their excursion now.

Located at the edge of northern Europe's biggest wilderness, the Icelandic highlands, encompassed by glaciers, beautiful valleys, endless rivers, and volcanos, the Wilderness Center opened its doors for the first time in 2016.

The vision behind the exhibition came from the farm's owner, a historian and film director who decided to highlight the history and beauty of the wilderness that surrounds the farm and create an exhibit that would allow visitors from all over the world to discover the hidden gems of the life in the Icelandic Highlands. 

In this one-hour guided tour, walk up the valley and enter the old farm buildings to learn about life in the Icelandic highlands.

The Wilderness Center highlights the Icelandic people's lives during old times in East Iceland and showcases the unique history of farmers living and adapting to the challenging conditions of the Icelandic highlands.

The display is composed of various buildings that were used as farms in the past but have been repurposed as exhibition spaces in this unique museum. This allows you to walk in between each building, discovering the history of the area with the help of your expert guide.

The exhibition features an immersive display that covers approximately 1.9 miles (3 km) of countryside and includes a variety of 19th and 20th-century tools, interesting historical writings, and beautiful artwork from the time period. The tour allows you to fully experience and immerse yourself in the East's historical past.

Your guide is a local expert who is well-versed in the history and culture surrounding life in the wilderness and will be delighted to tell you about the exhibit and answer any of the questions that might pop up during this one-hour tour.

The Wilderness Center is not only a museum but also offers rooms to stay in, delicious local meals to enjoy in a home-style restaurant, and an activity center where you can embrace the Icelandic culture and mesmerizing Highland nature.
