From there we take a short drive to Reykjadalur Valley and Aðaldalur Valley where we will visit the hidden gem Grenjaðarstaður Museum. It is one of the largest turf houses in Iceland and a perfect stop to get to know Icelandic culture and heritage. Its oldest part was built in 1865 and the house was inhabited until 1949. Grenjaðarstaður has been a folk museum since 1958 where around 2000 objects that relate to the old farming society are exhibited. The house is an interesting building, mostly built from lava rocks, of which the nearby area has a turf roof and panelled with driftwood on the inside.
The last stop on the way back to Akureyri is the Forrest Lagoon, heated by natural geothermal water sourced from the mountains. The natural water is said to have healing powers.
