Borgarfjordur and Hamar

Borgarfjordur

Borgarfjordur is a fjord near Borgarnes that is dangerous because of its shallows and undercurrents.

Sightseeing in Borgarfjordur

There are many flat islands in the fjord, which is mostly uninhabited. Nonetheless, it occasionally is the site of a concert and hosts an annual music festival that focuses on Icelandic/Nordic music. A family festival is presented on the second weekend in June.

Other attractions in the area include the Museum House of Borgarfjordur; the Bishop's Slope; the Hvita and Nordura rivers; and two waterfalls, Hraunfossar (the Lava Waterfall) and Barnafossar (the Children's Waterfall).

Hamar

Hamar is a charming old two-story farmhouse that has been renovated into a hostel and a golf lodge (the building is surrounded by the local golf course). It is just 2½ miles from Borgarnes.

Fishing permits for Nordlingafljot are sold in Fljotstunga; for Holmavatn, in Thorvaldsstadir; for Hredavatn, at Hredavatnsskali and Bifrost; for Hitarvatn, at Hitardalur; for Hlidarvatn, at Halikelsstadahlid; for Baularvattavatn, Hraunsfjardarvatn, and Selvallavatn, at Vegamot; and for the lakes on the Arnarvatnsheidi farm, in Hvitarsida. For Vatnsholtsa and the Lysariver system, permits can be obtained at Gardar, and for Vatnsholtsvatn lake, at the Vatnsholt farm.
