Notable places within about 40 km — shown as straight-line (air) distance, not travel distance

Goðafoss 0.6 km away (air distance)

The name means "waterfall of the gods". According to the saga tradition, when Iceland adopted Christianity around the year 1000, the lawspeaker Þorgeir threw statues of the old gods into the falls as a sign of the new faith. The falls are around 12 metres high and 30 metres wide.

Akureyri Botanical Garden 25 km away (air distance)

The Akureyri Botanical Garden, known as Lystigarðurinn, is a peaceful green space just below the town centre. Winding paths lead through flower beds, rock gardens, ponds and shady trees, with plants from Iceland and from around the world. In summer it bursts with colour, and the sheltered setting is far warmer than you would expect this far north.

Dimmuborgir Lava Formations 31 km away (air distance)

The formations were created around 2,300 years ago, when a lava flow ran over a shallow lake or marsh and boiling steam forced its way up through the lava, leaving pillars behind. In Icelandic folklore, Dimmuborgir is the home of the Yule Lads, the mischievous trolls who visit children before Christmas.
