Illugastadir is a farm located on the west side of the Vatnsnes Peninsula in Iceland. It offers breathtaking views of the coastline and is home to hiking trails, bird nesting areas, and seal colonies. But that's not all - this place has a fascinating history too. Back in the 19th century, a notorious love triangle ended in murder, making Illugastadir infamous. The story involves a self-educated doctor, multiple affairs, and a gruesome crime that led to public executions. Today, you can visit the execution site, see the tombstones of the victims, and even explore the remnants of the farm. It's a place where beauty and history collide, creating an unforgettable experience for visitors.
