Step back in time at this remarkably preserved turf farm, where what looks like a small cluster of grassy mounds from the outside unfolds into a fascinating maze of thirteen interconnected buildings. You'll get a true sense of Icelandic rural life as you wander through the surprisingly spacious rooms, from the kitchen and pantries to the cozy living quarters, all preserved as they were when inhabited until 1947. The entire farm is right by the car park, allowing you to immerse yourself in history just moments after you arrive.
