Stöðvarfjörður is a very small town, around 200 people live there. A few years ago it always felt like driving through a ghost when driving there. Their main sustain is the aluminum factory in the east fjord and fishing. Along with that young artist from ReykjavÃk started buying houses there so that has brought some life to the town. In the town, you can also find one of Iceland's best-known stone and mineral collections, which is a lifelong work of Petra Sveinsdóttir. Petra's Stone collection is something worth the visit if you like minerals and stones. You can also find galleries and art shows.…

The little house on the mountain pass called Fagridalur between Reyðarfjörður and Egilsstaðir, you will find this little small orange house, which offers a nice stop for a photo. The house is there because back in the days when people were crossing the pass they could stop there if the weather became bad. Nowadays they try closing the path before bad weather. Still always good to be aware of the danger that the weather can cause when crossing mountain roads in Iceland. These houses we call neyðarskýli in Iceland or emergency shelters.…
The batman chair is a pouplar location to get a picture of your self in a big red giant chair with the Batman mountain behind. The farmer in the farm close by was always seeing people stopping next to the road there so he decided to make something more for people to stop for and voila red giant chair we now call the batman chair, that he made. He takes the batman chair down for winter time so it doesn't get damaged by the winter weather, but definitely a place to stop for the view with or without the chair.…
Fossárdalur valley takes its name from the many waterfalls that run down the valley, the name means waterfall river valley. There is a beautiful waterfall just at the entrance of the valley, the name of that one is Nykurhylsfoss. Nykur in Icelandic is a name for a myth, it looks a lot like horse and lives in water, rivers and even at sea, if you take a seat on a Nykur he will run with you in the river and drown you. With a normal car, you can drive a little bit into the valley seeing some beautiful waterfalls and to the campsite at least in the summertime. If you have a 4x4 you might be able to drive a little further into the valley to explore its many waterfalls. In the valley, you can also…
