This isn’t a place where the younger generation are going to be bored. There’s the excitement of the beaches, horse riding, or fishing from the town’s quays. Our woodlands are a natural delight that offer orienteering challenges, greta places to barbecue and so much that makes time with the family even more worthwhile. Fjallabyggð has two outstanding swimming pools, jumping pads, great play areas and much, much more. www.fjallabyggd.is www.visittrollaskagi.is
