Vopnafjörður, Vopnafjordur, East Iceland
The village of Vopnafjörður is on Kolbeinstanga, with varied opportunities for relaxation and outdoor activities. Many marked walking trails lead through Vopnafjörður's natural pearls. One of them, the elephant, is a rock pillar on the east side of Vopnafjörður.
Two celebrations will be in Vopnafjörður in 2013: Vopnaskak, a family-oriented holiday with many activities, from 4.-7. July, and a cultural celebration, Once upon an August evening, in honor of the brothers Jónas and Jón Múla, held 5.-11. August.
Kaupvangur Cultural Center is worth a visit: visitor information, Kaupvangskaffi, Múlastofa (an exhibit about the life and music of two brothers, Jónas and Jón Múla), and East Iceland Emigration Center providing information about 19th century emigrants. The Kaupvangur is open 10:00 -- 18:00 daily in the summer.
In Hofsárdal is the old farm Bustarfell, one of Iceland's best-kept turf houses whose uniqueness lies in its clear image of farming practices and lifestyle from before 1770 until 1966. The museum is open daily through the summer, 10:00 -- 18:00. Café Croft is next door.
The golf course is nine holes whose layout is determined by its surroundings: steep hillside, diagonal layout and whimsical.
The Selárdal swimming pool, on the banks of the river where it runs through a shallow canyon, is famous for it's lovely surroundings. About 12 km. north of the village, open daily 7:00 -- 23:00.
Vopnafjörður's campground is small and peaceful, in a lovely setting overlooking the village. All basic services are available for vehicles, trailers and tenters.
Þéttbýlið Vopnafjörður stendur á Kolbeinstanga. Hér er fjöldi möguleika til afþreyingar og útivistar. Merktar gönguleiðar eru margar, fjölbreyttar og leiða á vit náttúruperla Vopnafjarðar. „Fíllinn, er ein þessara perla, steindrangur í austanverðum Vopnafirði.
Bæjarhátíðir Vopnafjarðar eru tvær sumarið 2013. Vopnaskak er fjölbreytt fjölskylduhátíð, haldinn dagana 4. -- 7. júlí. Menningarhátíðin „Einu sinni á ágústkveldi, er tileinkuð þeim bræðrum Jónasi og Jóni Múla og verður dagana 5.-11. ágúst.
Menningarsetur Vopnafjarðar, Kaupvangur, er áhugaverður staður að heimsækja. Þar má m.a. finna upplýsingamiðstöð ferðafólks, kaffihús og Múlastofu, safn um líf og list Jónasar og Jóns Múla. Þar er Vestufaramiðstöðin starfrækt sem veitir upplýsingar um tengsl og ættir Íslendinga við Vesturfara síns tíma. Húsið er opið frá kl. 10:00 -- 18:00 alla daga sumarsins.
Í Hofsárdal, stendur gamla ættarsetrið Bustarfell, einn af best varðveittu torfbæjum Íslands. Sérstaða safnsins felst í því glöggri miðlun breyttra búskapar- og lifnaðarhátta fólks allt frá því fyrir 1770 til þess er hætt var að búa í bænum árið 1966. Safnið er opið alla daga sumarsins frá 10:00 -- 18:00 sem og kaffihúsið Hjáleigan.
Golfvöllurinn er 9 holu völlur, sem legu sinna vegna hefur ákveðna sérstöðu - hæðótt landslag, skásneitt í tilfellum og fjölbreytt.
Selárdalslaug stendur við bakka Selár þar sem hún rennur í grunnu gljúfri. Leitun er að jafn fagurri staðsetningu fyrir sundlaug enda laugin rómuð fyrir umhverfi sitt. Laugin er um 12 km frá Vopnafjarðarkaupstað. Opnunartími er frá 07:00 -- 23:00.
Tjaldsvæði Vopnafjarðar er lítið en huggulegt, staðsett á fallegum stað ofarlega í þéttbýlinu norðanverðu. Öll grunnþjónusta við húsbíla og hverskonar tjöld.

Reydarfjordur is a beautiful fjord in East Iceland
Reyðarfjörður is the longest and widest of Iceland's eastern fjords; more than 30 km. long. Norwegians used to operate whaling stations along the fjord and fishing was frequented along the coastline. The town Búðareyri benefits from the shelter at the bottom of the fjord, where the harbour is naturally optimal. Thus in 1909, when the road through Fagridalur to Egilsstaðir was completed, it became a trade centre for the region.

A Little Trip to Iceland 2015
In June, my friend and I rented a car in Reykjavik, Iceland and drove the Ring Road--a highway that forms a perimeter of the country. Full itinerary in the down bar...
A more detailed plan: we started our journey in Reykjavik (day one: obviously the Blue Lagoon) and went clockwise. We boldly drove from Reykjavik to Akureyri, stopping at basically every pull-off we saw; then Akureyri to Myvatn, where we saw the surprisingly huge volcanic forest, lake Myvatn, Krafla (a volcanic activity harnessing plant), Viti crater, mudpots; then Myvatn off the Ring Road up to where we gazed at the Arctic Circle and drove through snow and beautiful fjords, ending in Egilsstadir; then we went Egilsstadir to Borgarfjörður Eystri to see the puffins and then to Seydisfjordur to drive down the same road Walter Mitty rode is skateboard; then we went from there to Hofn, where we were joined by other people on the road and a ton of ice caps, where we snowmobiled (only after taking a weird snow train) on Europe's largest glacier, and saw incredibly beautiful mountains AND shorelines; then we drove to Vík, where we saw basalt columns, black sand beaches, many a red church, cliff-lined shores, and a wrecked plane; then we drove the Golden Circle, where we saw Gullfoss, Geysir & it's accompanying Strokkur (filmed), where we stood between the two continental plates of Eurasia and the North Atlantic at Thingvellir National Park. We were so sad to rejoin civilization on our way back to Reykjavik for a couple more nights in Europe's northernmost capital, but happy to have had such a great road trip. In Reykjavik we found ice cream, more hot dogs, a beautiful and FUN city, an amazing tour guide of Iceland's pride, their Harpa, and Bjork (yes we found Bjork!!!!). Seriously, thanks so much, Iceland, for a fantastic trip.
This is all filmed on a Go Pro Hero3, with some shots from my Canon Rebel T3i.
