3 Days of fun at Kirkjuból and the Sheep Farming Museum at Strandir in the Westfjords Region

3 Days of fun at Kirkjuból and the Sheep Farming Museum at Strandir in the Westfjords Region

I had the opportunity to stay at Kirkjuból in Strandir, the Westfjords Region of Iceland, for 2 years in a row, when my husband took part in the children's festival Náttúrubarnahátíð at Sauðfjársetur – the Sheep Farming Museum at Strandir. All the time during this wonderful children‘s festival, we stayed at the guesthouse Kirkjuból and got to know the family who lives there and runs both the festival and the Sheep Farming Museum.

Wonderfully Colourful Fairytale Figures in Akureyri in North Iceland

Hidden away in a private backyard in Akureyri, the capital city of North Iceland, I found extraordinary colourful sculptures of fairytale figures. I got permission from the folk artist Hreinn Halldórsson to show them to you here on my Guide to Iceland travel blog. Top photo: the Fairytale garden Pippi Longstocking I didn't know about this wonderful fairytale garden, but while we were staying at Mývatn for a couple of days back in 2019, my husband had listened to the news, where the garden was featured. So, the next day, while returning home, he wanted to surprise me and drove into a

The Extraordinary Game of Thrones Locations I have visited on my Travels in Iceland

The Game of Thrones TV series has been filmed in many locations around the world, many of which are right here in my country, Iceland. As an Iceland travel blogger, I have visited all of the Game of Thrones locations on my travels in Iceland and written travel blogs about most of them. There are, for sure, some spectacular Game of Thrones locations here, which are well worth a visit. Now, let's have a look at them. Top photo: Gjáin in Þjórsárdalur valley Gjáin - Arya and the Hound - the Water Dance Gjáin and the waterfall in the Game of Thrones scene Gjáin is a breathtakingly beauti

The spectacular Geysir Geothermal Area - Strokkur and all the other Hot Springs

The spectacular Geysir Geothermal Area - Strokkur and all the other Hot Springs

In this travel blog, I want to show you the most popular place to visit in Iceland - the Geysir geothermal area, where you can see boiling mud pots, fumaroles, and Strokkur, which erupts every 7-8 minutes and spouts boiling water some 25-35 m into the air. The Geysir geothermal area is on the Golden Circle route, the most popular of Iceland's Jewel circles. The Golden Circle includes some amazing sights, the best-known of which are Gullfoss waterfall, the Geysir geothermal area, Þingvellir National Park, and Kerið crater.. There has been increased activity at the Geysir geothermal area, so

The Majestic Gullfoss - Iceland's Golden Waterfall, which gives a Name to the Golden Circle

The Majestic Gullfoss - Iceland's Golden Waterfall, which gives a Name to the Golden Circle

Over the years, I have shown you many beautiful waterfalls in Iceland, some well-known and easily accessible, but others remote and difficult to reach. In this travel blog, I am going to show you the best-known waterfall in Iceland, the breathtakingly beautiful Gullfoss, the Golden Waterfall, which gives the Golden Circle its name. But as you might know, the Golden Circle is the most popular sightseeing tour in Iceland. Top photo: Gullfoss with a rainbow The upper cascade of Gullfoss waterfall Gullfoss is one of Iceland's landmarks, and it is the waterfall I have visited most ofte

The amazing Mt. Kerlingarfjöll, a fascinating Hike through Hveradalir, and the Kjölur Route

The amazing Mt. Kerlingarfjöll, a fascinating Hike through Hveradalir, and the Kjölur Route

I have visited many of Iceland's geothermal areas over the years, as there is something so otherworldly about hiking amongst boiling mud pools, hissing vents, and spouting geysers. Not to mention the extraordinary geothermal colours. But there is one geothermal area in particular that blows my mind, and that is the Hveradalir geothermal area in Mt. Kerlingarfjöll in the highland of Iceland. In this part of Iceland, you will find one of the largest high-temperature geothermal areas in Iceland. Top photo: Hiking in Mt.

The Wreck of the Abandoned Plane on Sólheimasandur has become a Landmark in South Iceland

On the vast sand plains of Sólheimasandur glacial outwash in South Iceland, you will find an abandoned plane wreck. The plane has become one of the major tourist attractions on the South Coast of Iceland. The plane, a Super DC-3 C 117, made an emergency landing back in 1973 on Sólheimasandur and was left behind by the US Navy. This is not the site of a major plane crash, and there were no injuries.

The Picturesque Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon in South Iceland

The Picturesque Fjaðrárgljúfur Canyon in South Iceland

Iceland has some spectacular canyons, one of which is the Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon in South Iceland. In this travel blog, I want to show you what this majestic canyon looks like and why it became so popular. Fjaðrárgljúfur is a canyon with a unique, serpent-like shape, and it was not well known to visitors to Iceland until a few years ago. Don't worry if you cannot pronounce it, it is even difficult for Icelanders to pronounce ;) Top photo: Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon Photo from my 2020 visit. The serpent-shaped ledge in Justin Bieber's video is now closed for nature protection. There are sp

A Winter Visit to the South Coast of Iceland- all the way to Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon

In this travel blog, I am going to show you what the south coast of Iceland looks like in the wintertime. In other travel blogs, I have shown you what this part of Iceland looks like in the summertime, but it is quite a different experience visiting it in the wintertime. Top photo: Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon I guided 2 sisters, friends of mine from Slovenia, from Reykjavík to Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon in freezing November temperatures. There are some dangers you can encounter when driving on icy roads in the wintertime, which you don't encounter in the
