Summer for horse riding and white-water rafting on Skagafjörður's glacial rivers.
Summer for horse riding and white-water rafting on Skagafjörður's glacial rivers.
Sauðárkrókur is the main town of Skagafjörður, a broad northern valley celebrated as the heartland of Icelandic horse breeding and the only region where farmers still ride herds across glacial rivers.
It’s Iceland’s white-water rafting capital, thanks to the glacial rivers of Skagafjörður, and horse riding is everywhere. The 1238: The Battle of Iceland VR experience, the turf church at Víðimýri and the Grettislaug bathing pool are all close, as is the Glaumbær turf farm.
