Hraunhafnartangi and Þorgeirsdys - one of the Northernmost Spots on the Mainland of Iceland
On our second day on the Melrakkaslétta peninsula in North-East Iceland, we headed for Hraunhafnartangi spit, which lies at 66° 32′ 9.6″ N, 16° 1′ 31.08″ W, making it one of the northernmost points on the mainland of Iceland, together with Rifstangi, which is also close by here on Melrakkaslétta. In July 2016 it was confirmed by Landmælingar Íslands - the National Land Survey of Iceland that Rifstangi is actually located 68 metres further north than Hraunhafnartangi. Top photo: on the way to Hraunhafnartangi It is so peaceful and serene in this part of Iceland Only the island of Grí
Raufarhöfn - the Arctic Circle Village in NE-Iceland - and Heimskautsgerðið - the Mystical Arctic Henge
In this travel-blog I want to tell you about a beautiful area of Iceland that is often overlooked by visitors, the beautiful Melrakkaslétta peninsula in North-East Iceland. It is located right above a very popular area in the North, the Jökulsárgljúfur canyon, where my favourite spot in Iceland, Ásbyrgi canyon, is located and many more of the spectacular sights on the Diamond Circle. Top photo: Raufarhöfn in the evening sun Guesthouse Hreiðrið - the Nest One summer I went on a 3-week-tour around Iceland and visited areas of Iceland which I hadn't seen since I was a teenager, f.ex. Rauf
The historic Þingeyrakirkja Church in North-Iceland - one of Iceland's most beautiful Churches
Þingeyrakirkja church is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful churches in Iceland. It is located at Þingeyrar in North-Iceland by Húnafjörður bay. Þingeyrakirkja church was consecrated in 1877 and is one of Iceland's few stone churches. The stone in the church was found in the Ásbjarnarnesbjörg, 8 km away from the church. Inside Þingeyrakirkja The walls of the stone church are 1 meter thick. It is so beautiful on the inside as well. It is well known for its ceiling, which is blue painted with some 1000 golden stars. Matching the number of stars in the beautiful ceiling are the win
The Historic Glaumbær Turf House in North Iceland
As you might have noticed from my previous travel-blogs, then I adore turf houses. Whenever I travel around Iceland I seek out turf houses and turf churches, they are just so characteristic of my country. Everybody lived in a turf house in Iceland, both rich and poor and there are still several turf houses in Iceland, most of which have been preserved. There is a lovely historic turf house in Skagafjörður in North Iceland, called Glaumbær farm, and should not be missed while travelling in this area.

The extraordinary Kolufossar waterfalls in Kolugljúfur Canyon in North-Iceland
I recently travelled to the north of Iceland. I had seen a travel program on TV about Kolugljúfur canyon in Víðidalur valley and really wanted to see it with my own eyes. So off we went up north :) We were travelling in the evening and needed a place to stay for the night. I had heard good things about Dæli, which is part of the Icelandic Farm Holidays Association. Top photo: By Kolufossar waterfalls in the middle of the night The summer cottage at Dæli So I phoned ahead and I was in luck, they had a summer cottage available for the night. When we arrived at Dæli we looked for the sum
Drangey Bird Cliff in North-Iceland and the Viking Grettir the Strong
I went on a truly memorable trip when I sailed by boat from Drangeyjarferðir tours and climbed up on the top of the steep Drangey island sea cliff in Skagafjörður fjord in North-Iceland There is only one way to climb up to the top of Drangey - on the man-made path at "Uppgönguvík" or the Climbing-Up-Cove. It is a steep path up to the top of the 180 m high cliff, but there are ropes and chains to make the ascent easier. And a ladder on the final climb. Top photo: Puffins on Drangey island - all my photos are taken in fog, so they are a little dark On the boat tour arriving at Drangey isla
A lovely Hike into the mysterious Stakkholtsgjá Canyon in South-Iceland
I recently went on a fantastic tour with my mother, where I explored a beautiful canyon in Iceland - Stakkholtsgjá canyon. We were a group of Icelandic people travelling together and were headed to Þórsmörk National Park on a day trip. One of the stops on the way was to hike into this beautiful canyon. Top photo: In Stakkholtsgjá canyon Hiking in Stakkholtsgjá canyon Stakkholtsgjá is one of the places in Iceland which are just out of this world. It is around 2 km long and up to 100 m deep. There are some small rivers to be crossed and many of us got wet feet and some people fell in
Keldur Turf House in South Iceland - is this the oldest House in Iceland?
I adore turf houses, also called sod houses, they are so typical Icelandic. So I think it is proper to write about the oldest turf house in Iceland, the historical farm of Keldur in South Iceland. Keldur is one of only very few preserved turf houses in South Iceland, the other ones are f.ex. the turf house at Austur-Meðalholt, which is now a museum, and at Skógar museum you will find a lovely collection of turf houses. Keldur turf-farm and an employee from the National Museum I have written travel-blogs on all of the remaining turf houses in Iceland, f.ex. Laufás turf house, Þverá turf
The Beautiful Laufás Turf House in Eyjafjörður in North-Iceland
Laufás turf house in Eyjafjörður is a must-visit while travelling in North-Iceland. I love these old turf houses, they are so typical Icelandic in my opinion. My grandmother was born in a turf house, so it is not so long ago that turf houses were inhabited here in Iceland. Times have changed, for sure. Laufás Turf House in Eyjafjörður in North-Iceland On my travels around my country, I search for turf houses and have written a long travel-blog about the turf houses I have visited for the past years: A List of the beautiful Icelandic Turf Houses, which I have visited on my travels in Icel
Eyjafjörður Fjord in North-Iceland - Historic Churches
On my travels in Iceland I visit all the churches I encounter - and to visit some of them I travel long distances. There are several historic churches in Eyjafjörður fjord, the longest fjord in North Iceland. In this travel-blog I am going to show you 4 of them, the church at Grund, Saurbæjarkirkja turf church, Munkaþverá church, and the church at Möðruvellir. There are several other churches in Eyjafjörður which I will be writing about later on.
