Arctic Coastline and Tröllaskagi (Troll) Peninsula – Trollaskagi (Troll Peninsula) is an spectaculr natural beauty where the beauty of the mountains and the fjords is awe inspiring. The area is rich with culture and for those knowledge thirsty history is on display at local folk museums and Cultural houses have exhibitions all year around. We drive from Akureyri capital of the north out the fjörd Eyjafjörður.
Glacial periods of the last Ice Age carved deep valleys into the peninsula, which are now further shaped by the rivers flowing through them. A few permanent glacier ice caps still exist in central Tröllaskagi but they are all rather small.
Along the way we see some of the fishing villages where the people have survived by fishing for centuries. During our journey, we pass through Dalvík and Ólafsfjörður, with a stop at a black sand beach en route to Siglufjörður. Siglufjörður is a historic fishing town and the filming location for the TV series ‘Trapped’. During our return journey, we make a stop in Hauganes. The village originated in the late 19th century, with the first wooden house constructed in 1882. However, even centuries earlier, the area served as a harbor for local farmers due to the creek providing protection from ocean currents.
The population is about 90 people and it’s been so for the past 50 years. Icelanders are famous for their use of hot geothermal water and in Hauganes you’ll find hot tubs on the black beach and a great opportunity for swimming in the Atlantic Ocean! At the end of the tour we stop at Baccalá bar restaurant in Hauganes before we drive back to Akureyri.
