The Trollaskagi peninsula is the ideal place for birdwatchers.
In Olafsfjörður, you have the open arctic on one hand and a 2.25 ha lake on the other, blended with sea and freshwater, making the place quite attractive for birds and birdwatchers. From here you can also explore the neighbouring villages & islands, such as Dalvik, from where birdwatchers can go on boat-trips, the Svarfaðardalur nature reserve, the Grimsey island on the arctic circle, the isle of Hrisey , Siglufjörður and the bird-rich islands of Drangey & Málmey in Skagafjörður. All nearby.
