The Southwest

– 2 0 1

The South-western area reaches from Selvogur west of Þorlákshöfn to the east of the town of Hella, along the seaside, and in to the highlands. The area is as vast as it is diverse; there is a wide variety of attractions such as Þingvellir National Park, Gullfoss and Geysir, which together comprise the golden circle, the highland areas of Kerlingarfjöll, Kjölur, Sprengisandur and Landmannalaugar, Langjökull glacier and the Hekla volcano with its surrounding area, to name a few. The area is rich in culture and history and offers a wide variety of activities such as horseback riding, jeep safaris, glacier tours, sailing, salmon and trout fishing, golfing, hiking and various other interesting activities. We encourage all our visitors to be mindful of the environment and treat our nature with the utmost respect; our natural treasures are sensitive and we intend to preserve it for generations to come. The South-western area has a rich food culture and has a longstanding history of producing dairy products, meat and vegetables. There is a wide range of local restaurants and some of them even offer the experience of having food served straight from farm to table. The area‘s natural geo-thermal energy has also been a source for innovation and inspiration when it comes to food and you may find some of the restaurants use the hot springs to actually cook some of the food. The area is rich in artistry and natural resources; a considerable amount of hand-made products can be found in the area, ranging from items made of wood to wool and glass. There is also to be found an array of greenhouses, an abundance of green energy; including geothermal energy, hydropower energy and wind power energy. The South-western area is rich in agriculture. Some of the country’s largest horse breeding farms and horse rentals are situated in the area. You can take a guided tour in a dairy farm as well as farms that have been designed for tourists to visit. In addition to all this, the area is famous for its rich birdlife and there are many locations that offer an easy access to bird-watching.

Arnarker

Arnarker is a cave in the Leitarhraun lava field, north of the old road leading from Þrengsli towards Selvogur. A marked path leads from the information sign by the road to the cave, and a ladder has been placed at its opening, down some 16 meters. The cave is about 516 meters long. It goes from the opening 100 meters south and 400 meters north.

Flóaáveita

Flóaáveitan are canals that run through the entire Flói region, from Ölfusá in the west to Þjórsá River in the east. This monumental construction consisted of 300 km long canals and 900 km of embankments. The Flói irrigation system reached over 12 thousand hectares of land and became a major transition in farming and production in the area at the time. The construction of Flói irrigation system began in 1922 and irrigation began its activities in 1927. When the irrigation was inaugurated in 1927 it was one of the greatest structures in Europe and to this day it plays an important role in transferring water between farms. Beside the sluice gate you will find an information board with more details about the Flói irrigation system. To the east of the sluice gate is a marked hiking trail along Hvítá (about 4,4 km, one way).

Þingvellir / Thingvellir

Now a protected historical site, Thingvellir is revered in the hearts and minds of Icelanders. It was the site of the founding of Althingi, the Parliament of Iceland, in the year 930, and a great number of the most remarkable events in Icelandic history occurred there. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the year 2004, the Thingvellir National Park is among some 800 sites of cultural and natural significance that are considered to have unique value on a global scale.

The Icelandic Horse

The Icelandic horse is famous for its unique qualities; a sweat demeanour, its five gaits and its small stature. The horse has been the Icelander’s sturdy companion for hundreds of years and saved our lives. Horse rentals are a popular destination for many visitors and a guided tour on horseback is highly recommended since it is the perfect way to experience our tremendously beautiful nature and a wonderful way to get to know the nation’s best friend; the Icelandic horse.

Raufarhólshellir

There are many caves in the lava fields in Ölfus and the largest being Raufarhólshellir by road no. 39. A journey into Raufarhólshellir 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. The cave is a popular location for many films and i.e. the film Noah (2014) was partly shot in the cave. Daily tours are available in Raufarhólshellir.

Íslenski bærinn

At Austur-Meðalholt is the Icelandic Turf House exhibition and where one of Iceland’s best preserved turf farms can be found. It is a great example of houses built using natural materials, a subtle and almost seamless extension of nature itself. The farmhouse tradition embodies an important element of Icelandic history and the Icelandic way of life over the centuries.

Gullfoss / The Golden Falls

Gullfoss is actually two separate waterfalls, the upper one with a drop of 11 metres and the lower 21 metres. For thousands of years the river has followed its coarse delighting tourists with beauty and power. Sigridur Tómasdóttir the farmer’s daughter in Brattholt by Gullfoss was born 1871. She often accompanied visitors to Gullfoss, many of whom had travelled great distances to catch sight of it. At the turn of the 19th century efforts began to acquire the rights to waterfalls in Iceland for industrial and hydroelectric purposes, often by agents for foreign enterprises. When Gullfoss came into the possession of such agents Sigridur, rose up to fight against several of the most powerful men in Iceland. 17

Strandarkirkja

Strandarkirkja church is in Selvogur (Seal Cove) was originally built in the 12th century. The story relates that during one night when a group of sailors tried to navigate back to Iceland in a storm. The southern coast of Iceland is notorious for its hidden reefs and rough coast. The distressed sailors prayed to God for a safe return and vowed to build a church wherever they landed. When they ended their prayer an angel, seemingly made of light, appeared before their bow. The angel guided them through the rough surfs and led them into a bay for safe landing. The sailors kept their promise and built a wooden church at the site and named it Strandarkirkja.

Skálholt

Skálholt is an ancient manor farm and bishopric whose history dates back to the year 1056. For centuries the school that was operated there, Skálholtsskóli, was the leading educational institution in Iceland. Skálholt occupies a position of welldeserved dominance in the history of Mediaeval Icelandic books and manuscripts, for it was there that the books and manuscripts currently found in library collections were written and preserved.

Hot water wells up from soil in cracks and springs and flows forth in creeks and simmers in pools in the South-western area. The abundance of geothermal energy in this area is a blessing, which provides homes with warmth in the bitter wintertime, and a luxurious dip in a warm pool will warm even the coldest heart. Several areas provide a good view of the geothermal energy reaching the surface, restaurants offer food cooked in the hot water springs, natural baths are available and a visit to one of the areas wonderful swimming pools, which are heated with geothermal energy, is a must.

The cave was formed at a latter glacial period by sea erosion. Sea levels have been higher than now several times and signs of sea erosion can be seen on more cliffs in the area which are made of around 0, 7 - 3, 1 million year old basalt. The cave was previously used to store hay in the back and as a sheepcote in the front. It was once believed that the cave was haunted by a ghost wearing a blue scarf. The story tells of a young man who was broken hearted and hung himself in the cave using a long blue scarf.

Friðland í Flóa

Northwest to the town of Eyrarbakki, is a wetland area rich in birdlife. The reserve has walking paths and a bird hide, and idel spot for bird watching. The Flói Bird Reserve is listed in the Bird Life international Association.

Keldur

At Keldur at Rangárvellir is a unique whole local and outhouses from the past. Town houses are made of the oldest preserved turf houses, where the front door on both sides of the farm door facing the long side of the ramp. This varying look has remained all media. As well as farm buildings and church there are warehouses, workshop, mill hut, cowshed, stables, sheep pen, tunnels etc. As generally happens on the turf building the houses have been rebuilt, but the form has been stored. Keldur farm is built from lava rock from Hekla.

Built in 1938-1939, the lighthouse was the first one in Iceland to be built out of reinforced concrete. The lighthouse is the tallest building in South Iceland, 26,2 metres (86 feet) high. It was designed by the engineer Axel Sveinsson as a blend of functionalism and art nouveau (jugendstil).

Laugavegur is a famous trekking route in the highlands of south Iceland. It leads from the hot springs of Landmannalaugar to Þórsmörk. It is noted for the wide variety of landscapes that are experienced in just 55 km. The route is typically completed over 2-4 days with potential stops at the mountain huts at Hrafntinnusker, Álftavatn, Hvanngil and Emstrur.

Baugsstaðir

The creamery was established by local farmers in 1905 and operated until 1952. Its products were butter and cheese. The Baugsstaðir creamery was powered by a water wheel and is the only one of Iceland’s creameries that still retains its original equipment. A little to the west are the ruins of the creamery’s storage, which was an icehouse and used to store products before they were transported to market. The creamery’s main markets were in England as well as in Iceland.

Travellers intending to explore out-of-the-way areas are encouraged to use the Travellers’ Reporting Service ICE-SAR, tel. 570-5900

Þjófafoss waterfall

Þjófafoss or Thieves‘ waterfall in the river Þjórsá is thought to be named because thieves used to be thrown into the waterfall, but little else is known of the story origin. Þjórsá is the longest river in Iceland, around 230 km from source to sea.

Doubtless the best-known geyser in the world, Geysir has lent its name to the English language in order to christen the phenomenon of the periodically spouting hot spring. Historical sources back to the 13th century mention Geysir, whose activity has varied through time and often changes as a result of earthquakes. When Geysir was at its most active, its eruptions spouted scalding geothermal water streams some 60 – 80 m into the air.

Hafnarnes lighthouse and viewpoint

Hafnarnes is the surroundings by the lighthouse in Thorlákshöfn with a viewpoint. From the viewpoint you can see the volcanic mountain range of Hekla, Eyjafjallajökull and Katla. You can also walk around the cliffs, listen to the ocean and watch the surfers ride the waves. Hafnarnes is one of the top ten surfing spots in the world.

Fossabrekkur

It’s the source of Ytri Rangá where the water comes out from the ash layers from Hekla. The area is green and is different from everything else in the area. This is the same river as runs through village Hella.

Þjórsárdalur / Thjórsárdalur valley

In the days of the old Commonwealth the valley of the River Þjórsá was grassy and flourishing with about 20 farmsteads, but in 1104 the valley was laid waste by an eruption from Mt. Hekla. The farms that were buried under a layer of volcanic ash have been a goldmine for archaeologists. Sites of about 40 buildings have been unearthed in Þjórsárdalur and the best preserved and most remarkable is the farmhouse at Stöng excavated in 1939. Based upon the Stöng farmhouse a replica Saga-Age farmhouse was built in 1974 to mark the 1100 anniversary of the settlement of Iceland. The replica farmhouse stands at the mount of the valley, together with a replica of an early church.

Oddi á Rangárvöllum

Oddi, is a major historic site. It first became famous around the middle of the 11th Century, when a church was built there, and thus is one of the oldest church sites in Iceland. In the year 1078, Sæmundur the Learned became priest of Oddi. He had studied for the clergy in France (at the Sorbonne). Sæmundur established a school at Oddi, which is believed to have stood for two centuries.
