This nice route starts from the Harbour in Akureyri and follows the fjord of Eyjafjörður. Great open views and sometimes you can even spot whales from there. The way back it goes next to the Industry Museum and the Nonni's House and joins the famous church Akureyrarkirkja which is a prominent Litheran church designed by Guðjón Samúelsson and completed in 1940. From there the trail goes to the main shopping street Hafnarstraeti where you can enjoy the nice coffee shops, bars and restaurants....

This trail starts at the parking in the city center in Akureyri, capital of the North Iceland and join the forest called Kjarnaskógur. It joins also the camping site of Hamrar. Fantastic trails in the forest in North Iceland with super views of the fjord called Eyjafjordur. There is also a path that goes up to the summit of Súlur.

You can park the car at the edge of town next to some fields. Had to traverse through a few fields before coming to the wilderness. Climbed steeply up the banks through leftover snow and scree. It's a perfect hike to catch a beautiful sunset/sunrise at the top at about midnight in the summer time. The descended goes by the same route.

This route brings you from the Akureyri Aiport to the company called goHusky. They offer unique dogsledding tours in Iceland with huskies. You have also tours where you can spend unique time with this fantastic animal and also walking tours. More info on: gohusky.is
