About this experience

Langanes is a veritable outdoor paradise teeming with birdlife, great for nature study and hiking as well as some tangible history. A trip to the outlying peninsula is an unforgettable adventure, passing remnants of ancient farms and deserted buildings like Heiði. Below Skoruvík cliffs is Stórikarl rock column, one of Iceland's largest gannet colonies. Way out on the eastern shore stood village Skálar from 1910-1946.

We recommend you take warm clothes and good hiking boots. The temperature out on the peninsula is always a bit lower then in the inlands.
