Þjóðveldisbærinn is a replica of Stöng the ruins of a viking farm further down the valley. This museum is showing how vikings lived a thousand years ago.

Beside the farmhouse you can find a smaller house which is a church. At opening times it is possible to go into the houses and see how vikings have lived at that time. You find beds, dining tables, the bathroom and you can dress yourself like a viking to get an even deeper feeling of how it was to be a viking.

I would always recommend to pay this place a visit, even if the museum is closed. It is a magical place with a waterfall in the background. If possible I would also always recommend to take a look inside. The effort people took to give you the feeling of taking a time travel to about 1100 past Christ was immense.
