Siglufjordur 2012 - Welcome by The Herring House!
Siglufjörður offers a variety of interesting and enjoyable things to do and see -- both for the tourist and for those in search of some outdoor activity.
The winter turns the town into a paradise for the skier and is a dream come true for the outdoor enthusiast. Here they have a choice of trying some cross-country skiing, slalom, skating, or zipping across the snow on a snowmobile.
During the summer, it is the mountains, the lake and the black sandy shores which call to us, and there is a wide selection of walks and hikes in both mountain and valley to tempt the visitor. A few hours walking through the area's rugged landscape gives one the chance to savour the peace and tranquillity which emanates from these natural elements.
The recreational possibilities are almost endless; it is possible to go sea angling or angling in the waters of Hólsá river -- and we must not forget that it can also be fun just fishing from the end of the pier. Midnight sails and trips across the Arctic Circle can be arranged as well. It is possible to organise special activities for those who so wish, such as combining a walking and a sailing trip by e.g. walking out along Héðinsfjörður fiord then returning home by sea. For golf enthusiasts there is a 9 hole golf course at Siglufjörður, and for swimmers, a good swimming pool.
The Síldarminjasafnið herring museum is the largest marine and industrial museum in Europe. It is housed in three widely differing premises where the visitor can become acquainted with the pursuit of the silver darlings and the processing of that valuable commodity. Síldarminjasafnið received the European Museums Award, the Michletti Award, in 2004. The Folk Music Center is also to be found in Siglufjörður.
The Art of Craft Beer Made in Iceland - Gæðingur Brewery
From Jeff: I would like to introduce you to the head brewer and owner of Gæðingur craft brewery Árni Hafstað' . The brewery is in a remote town of Sauðárkrókur in Northern Iceland that he founded back in 2011. The area is long known to be the cradle of the best Icelandic horses, so it was more than fitting to name the company Gæðingur which translates into a great horse.
The Icelandic horse is as local to this land of fire and ice as its people. It arrived here on the very first ships of the settlers from Norway 1100 years ago and has, remained a loyal friend, vital servant and holds a very special place in the hearts of the Icelandic people.
