Stykkishólmur

 
 

Stykkishólmur is the perfect village for those wanting to visit the Breiðafjörður area as it is the heart of trade, transport, and service for the whole area. The oldest house in the town is the Norwegian House which holds the local folk museum that constantly produces exhibits concerning the area's history. For those who really enjoy the handcrafted items of the village can admire and buy modern versions at several shops in the town centre. The rural location also provides interesting farm holidays and horse rentals for riding along the hills of the country side. Walks and hikes are also a nice way to see the area. A majestic panoramic view can be seen by visitors choosing to walk along Súgandisey next to the harbour. Fun hiking trails are easily accessible at the nearby Helgafell Mountains. For the visitor in search of something unique and different, he or she should take a look at the shark-curing plant.
