Though the region is best known for its fjords, as its name suggests, there are plenty of sites inland you should make an effort to reach. Around 47 miles (75 kilometers) away is the largest forest in the country, Hallormstadaskogar, which boasts a wealth of birdlife and many hiking trails. This feature sits on the edge of Lake Lagarfjlot, which is both beautiful and steeped in fascinating folklore.
