Lakes & Mountains

Surrounded by outstanding natural beauty, it is essential you venture out to see the surrounding mountains of Southern Iceland. There are plenty of hiking trails around Skálakot that will take you up above the farm to admire the magnificent views, while fitness fans can even take a jogging route. You may also wish to experience the geothermal swimming pools, set outdoors and surrounded by the ruggedly beautiful hills. To learn how people used to live in this environment, you can visit the Skógar Folk Museum, where you can see the tools, turf houses and artwork that came from inhabitants centuries ago.
