Akureyri Botanical Garden 0.7 km away (air distance)

The garden was founded in 1912 by a group of local women and is now home to thousands of plant species. It features all of Iceland's native plants, as well as species from the Arctic, the Alps and beyond. Because of the sheltered microclimate in the Eyjafjörður fjord, it counts as one of the northernmost botanical gardens in the world.

Goðafoss 25 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.
