Lake Hreðavatn is partly on our land. Nice trout fishing in the lake. Students from Bifrost university love to pick-nick below the fall in Kiðá river and jump of the cliff into the pool.
Our guests can be permitted to fish for trout and arctic char from the shore south of the river Kiðá. It can only be reached by foot from the parking lot in Jafnaskarðsskógur woodland.

Local food and farm animals on display.
Excellent a la cart restaurant, our favorite. Specializing in local food, the meat can be from their own stock and the ice-cream is local too. Serve the best burgers I've tried. Some farm animals on display.
