the hostel has a great cafe at reasonable prices, but don't be in a rush. the lady that runs the hostel also does the cooking, serving, and cashing out. the food was amazing and she prepares and cooks everything at the time of ordering. |

If you're heading north, check out the Hallormsstadhur National Forest just beyond Egilsstadir. The well-blazed blue trail is about a two-hour loop through the heart of the forest, which includes stands of native Downy birch as well as many introduced species. The forest is amazingly diverse and offers occasional views of Lagerfljot Lake, which is reputed to contain a large, serpent-like "wyrm" dating back to the 1300's! |
