There’s so much to see and do in Skagafjörður. The region is often described as horse country, and that’s very true. It’s the only county in Iceland where horses outnumber humans. There are a number of farms and horse riding tour operators in the region.
Skagafjörður is just 40km long and 15km wide, with the towns of Sauðárkrókur and Varmahlíð being the main areas for tourism. Here, farms reign supreme and most residents are involved in agriculture in one form or another. Tourism has picked up in recent years and there are a number of museums, historical sights, and plenty of outdoor activities to entertain visitors. Skagafjörður’s landscape is heavenly with sloping mountains, a beautiful coastline and chunks of glacial ice dotting the fjord. Visit the area for farmstays, horse riding, angling, sailing and birdwatching.
