Summer for salmon rivers, Selárlaug pool and the Bustarfell turf farm.

A remote northeastern fjord village known for world-class salmon rivers and geothermal baths.

Vopnafjörður is a remote village on a broad bay in Iceland’s north-east, known for its salmon rivers, its emigration history and a peaceful, off-the-beaten-track atmosphere.

The beautifully preserved Bustarfell turf farm, one of the oldest in the country, and the riverside Selárlaug geothermal pool are the highlights. Empty roads and sweeping coastal scenery reward the detour off the Ring Road.
