Message from Jan In Iceland

Herjolfsdalur Valley is a lush valley with a rich Viking history dating back over a millennium. Named after early settler Herjólfur, the valley is known for its archaeological significance and as the site of the popular Thjodhatid festival held every August. Visitors can explore hiking trails, visit the Herjolfstown Viking Wax Museum, and enjoy stunning views of the North Atlantic Ocean.
