Snæfellsnes Day tour
“There is magic in the glacier”, the farmer said to me, “It gives you energy” he said with this glow in his eye that had lived the double lifetime of me, and I think it is not far from the truth.
Snæfellsnes, this 90km long peninsula comprises a world of diversity and natures magic. Small friendly fishing towns and villages. Spectacular mountains and the Glacier Snæfellsjökull wich gives the name to the national park area. Multitude of bird species nesting on treacherous cliffs, rocks and land masses. Colourful beaches of red and yellow sand, popular among horsemen, and some with grey and black pebbles and rock skimmers. Remnants and relics scattered here and there of times and ways of life long past.
This is an area filled with saga, geology and hiking trails that has inspired the likes of Jules Verne for the story Journey to the Center of the Earth.
This is an area worth a journey to.
