Parks & Nature
A journey into Raufarhólshellir (The Lava Tunnel) is a unique experience and a great opportunity to witness the inner workings of a volcanic eruption as one walks in the path of lava that flowed during the Leitahraun eruption, which occurred east of the Bláfjöll mountains about 5200 years ago. Every winter spectacular ice sculptures are formed inside the entrance of the cave making the experience of visiting the lava tunnel even more breathtaking.

Everything Else
Not far from the cabin (30 min drive). A geothermal town with lots of local farmers selling their vegetable and fruits. Bring coins since you might have to serve yourself. Check out the hotspring Hrunalaug. Amazing to warm up in. Please make sure you respect the area and don´t leave any trash there.
Have a lunch at Fridheimar, a tomato greenhouse with tomato-based menu! It´s a very popular restaurant so make sure you book a table during high season. www.fridheimar.is/en

Arts & Culture
For centuries Skálholt was the actual capital of a rural society and the cultural and spiritual center of the country, figuring eminently in the cultural and church history. But after waning status of the bishop’s office, volcanic eruptions, a major earthquake and other disasters in the late 18th century the episcopal see and school were transferred to Reykjavík.
