The Hallormsstadur forest is the largest forest in the country (2,300 hectares) and a fascinating site for research. Scientists are trying to see what kind of trees are best suited to the Icelandic climate and more than forty varieties from many countries have been planted in this protected area. The forestry project hopes to prove that Iceland can produce commercial timber again, growing trees like those that were wiped out by the Ice Age. If you like to explore the outdoors, there are many quiet walks in the forest or you can hire a horseback riding tour of the area. There is also a lovely campsite next to Atlavík. Local families gather here on weekends and holidays to celebrate summer festivals, and from Atlavík, there is a ferry, Lagarfljótsormurinn, which sails every night during the summer season.
