We often go there to eat or for the homemade icecream. Our kids call it the "Cow-Ice" because its in a farm and you can watch the cows and calves through class while eating :-) Its few minutes from our house if you are driving from Laugarvatn in the direction of Geysi and Gullfoss on the left side of the road.

It’s a very nice hike or walking to a Geothermal Hot Springs in Hveragerdi Town, not far from our house. If you take your swimming suit with you, you can soak in the hot springs at the end after the hike. I guess it’s a few hours walking, but its worth it. You start by driving through the town and up the valley. If you go, follow the hot river where you can bath, for few more minutes and check out the ravine, its magnificent. Please ask for Reykjadalur if you get lost.

A restaurant and coffee house near our house in Reykholt, around 20 minutes driving from our house. (We have more than one town named Reykholt in Iceland, so please select the nearest one if using GPS 😊 ) The restaurant is situated in a working Greenhouse and specializes in delicious tomato soup and various foods made from tomato they grow. I recommend the place and is recommended you make a booking if you want to go. Its quite popular and closes early or at around 4 o´clock in the evening. Web: fridheimar(dot)is/en
