DALABYGGÐ

You start your trip from Reykjavik, setting off and in under two hours drive, you enter the Dalir region. It’s a region of pristine nature, exquisite scenery, charming local businesses, family farms, regional food and leisurely atmosphere.

There is not much to compare to it: lying beside an open window with a gentle, fresh breeze and the only sound being from a common snipe or redwing, maybe some bleating from sheep in the distance.

Relaxing after a day of sightseeing, having tasted food direct from the farms all around Dalir, bathing in geothermal pools, walking across

No experience like it

black sand beaches. Not to mention the experience you get during bright Icelandic summer nights.

Learning about the first settlers of Iceland, the work of the first Icelandic architect Rognvaldur Olafsson; picturing moments through the art of Icelandic sculptor Asmundur Sveinsson or looking out over the landscape that gave inspiration to poets like Steinn Steinarr and that hosted the battles of the Vikings in earlier centuries.

Yes, there is a reason why we are proud of our region of Dalir! Join us this summer and see why.
