Icelandic Crafts and Design at City Hall in Reykjavík

Reykjavík, the capital city of Iceland, hosts the Crafts and Design Fair at City Hall called Handverk og hönnun in Icelandic twice a year. Icelandic artists from all over the country come together at City Hall to sell their unique products.   Here you will meet designers from the North, South, East, and West parts of my country. At the sales show, you will find woollen and leather goods, jewellery, clothes and shoes, artwork made from horns, bones, and paper, wood carving, and pottery.  Top photo: Reykjavík City Hall It is an excellent venue for getting acquainted with the work of desi

Stand-up Comedy in Iceland - the Comedy Club & the Golden Gang - Come Talk Funny - a Show in English

My hometown Reykjavík has an ever-growing Stand-up comedy scene, which I attend regularly - as what is better than a good laugh to get us through the long winters here in Iceland? Or just any time of the year :)  And now there is even a Stand-up comedy show in English for our foreign visitors. I want to tell you about how it all started and developed into the ever-so-popular shows of the Golden Gang Comedy - Come Talk Funny, which, in May 2017, celebrated their 100th show in just 2 years!

The Secret Cabin of Thor hidden in the Woods of South Iceland

Tucked away in the woods of South Iceland, you will find the Secret Cabin of Thor -named after both the Old Norse Viking God of Thunder and the owner of the cottage, Ólafur Thor. Close by Thor's cabin, the ice-cold and roaring glacier river Hvítá runs its course from the second largest icecap in Iceland, Langjökull glacier, and Lake Hvítárvatn in the highland of Iceland.  Top photo: the Secret Cabin of Thor in the woods Hvítá river   This white and forceful glacial river is the same river that creates Iceland's best-known waterfall, Gullfoss - the Golden Fall, which cascades 32 meters

A Hike to the perfectly shaped Eldborg Scoria Crater on Snæfellsnes in West Iceland

Eldborg crater in Hnappadalur stands like a guard on the boundaries of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula and Mýrar in West Iceland. Eldborg crater, which means Fortress of Fire, is one of the most perfectly shaped craters I have ever seen here in Iceland. This beautiful scoria crater is believed to have been at its most active some 5,000-8,000 years ago.  Top photo: Eldborg   Hiking to Eldborg It is easy to hike to the crater and take a peek inside. The hike to Eldborg and back is about 6 km, and the round-trip takes about 1.5 hours, depending on how fast you walk. We walked very briskly, s

Kerlingarskarð Pass in Snæfellsnes in West Iceland - the Folklore of the Giantess & her Fiancé 

In this travel blog, I am going to tell you about the giantess who lives in Kerlingaskarð pass. Kerlingarskarð pass is a rugged mountain pass on the Snæfellsnes peninsula in West Iceland.  This mountain pass lies 310 m above sea level, and here used to be the thoroughfare from Helgafellssveit on the northern part of the Snæfellsnes peninsula to Miklaholtshreppur on the southern part.   Top photo: Kerling in Kerlingarskarð pass   Lóndrangar cliffs Kerlingarskarð pass is no longer maintained, and the road is in pretty bad condition. It is now closed off to traffic, and the paved Vatna

Hofsstaðir in Garðabær Town - a Viking Settlement Age Farm in South-West Iceland

In this travel blog, I am going to tell you about a Settlement Age farm discovered in 1986 in Garðabær, part of the Great-Reykjavík area.  It is a large Viking Age longhouse dating back to 870-930, measuring 8x30 meters on the outside and with a floor surface of 170 sq m, which is quite large for a longhouse. Top photo: Hofsstaðir Viking longhouse and Vídalínskirkja church Hofsstaðir Viking longhouse We don't know who lived here, but it looks like a longhouse of a wealthy farmer.  It is believed that 20-30 people lived on the farm, and it was most likely inhabited until the 12th centu

Skriðuklaustur and the Archaeological Excavations in East Iceland

Skriðuklaustur is a beautiful place to visit on your travels in East Iceland. It is a Centre of History and Culture (Gunnarsstofnun) and one of Iceland's greatest historical sites. The last Catholic monastery in Iceland, an Augustinian monastery, operated on this spot from 1493 to 1552. Its primary function over these 60 years was to attend to the sick.  This beautiful building is the former home of the noted author Gunnar Gunnarsson (1889-1975). Top photo: Skriðuklaustur   Visiting the beautiful Skriðuklaustur Gunnar built this manor at Skriðuklaustur in 1939. The German architect,

The Holy Mt. Helgafell on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula & the 3 Wishes

The historical Mt. Helgafell - the Sacred Hill - on the Snæfellsnes peninsula is, in the eyes of many of us Icelanders, a sacred place. It is a common belief amongst the locals that if you hike to the top of the mountain without looking back or uttering a word, you will get 3 wishes fulfilled. This only works the first time you hike the mountain, though, so most Icelanders have already done this hike and received their wishes. Top photo: Mt. Helgafell   Helgafellskirkja church Mt. Helgafell is 73 meters tall, and it takes about 8-10 minutes to hike to the top, if that, as the ascent

Mt. Kirkjufell & Kirkjufellsfoss in Grundarfjörður - the most photographed Mountain in Snæfellsnes

In this travel blog, I am going to show you Mt. Kirkjufell (463 m), the most prominent mountain in Grundarfjörður on the Snæfellsnes peninsula, and a landmark of the fishing town.  The mountain is free-standing and referred to as the most beautiful mountain on the Snæfellsnes peninsula - some even say the whole of Iceland. At least it is the most photographed mountain. Top photo: Mt. Kirkjufell Mt. Kirkjufell and Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall   The name Kirkjufell means "Church Mountain" because it is thought to resemble a church. And the mountain next to it, Stöðin, is said to resemble
