Highlights
Adventure
The Troll Peninsula is punctuated with mountain ranges, where peaks consistently reach above 1,200 metres. In the summer months, take advantage of warmer weather and ride numerous mountain trails on a bicycle tour leading from summits to sea shores, white-water raft on one of the rivers and whale-watch during the most prolific time, from April through until September. In the winter seasons, make the most of the snowy landscapes by snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and admiring the Northern Lights.
Northern Lights
Troll Peninsula is also a spectacular spot to admire the spectacle of the Northern Lights. Known as the Aurora Borealis, this astounding natural phenomenon where enchanting green lights dance upon the dark midnight sky is considered a bucket-list activity.
Museums and Exhibitions
Despite its remoteness, the Troll Peninsula is home to several noteworthy museums. The award-winning Herring Era Museum is Iceland’s largest maritime museum, Byggðasafnið Hvoll museum provides an insight into the history of the community and houses items of art and craft made by local people, while The Folk Music centre brings to life the world of Icelandic folk music.
