the old farmhouse laufas印象

This little museum has been beautifully restored by local folks who clearly love their heritage. The modest admission fee is well worth it and helps support maintenance of the site. The woman who greets visitors is not a guide, but if she's not busy she will happily and proudly share personal rememberances and knowledge. She showed us, for example, how she and her friends as children played with bones like those on display in the yard. A small "map" of the buildings is available. Don't miss the graveyard (very old and still in use) and the cafe next door, which also has local hand knitted goods at reasonable prices.

This museum was a great window into the not-so-distant past of Icelanders who lived in turf homes. The displays at the back of the house on the second floor were captivating: the woolen goods, the kitchen utensils and the old books. Seeing how a kitchen was set up made me glad to be alive in this century! Don't miss this chance to take a glimpse into the past.

We were intrigued by the sod roofs we saw from the road and stopped by to investigate. The woman manning the visitor entrance was getting ready to leave, but kindly let us walk through the farmhouse. Fascinating to see how the walls and rooms were constructed. Some of the rooms were surprisingly formal. Nice examples of clothing and implements used long ago.

A stopover before going whale watching, arrive at around 11am no one was there except our tour group we have the whole site! Interesting houses and you can't imagine from outside how big it really is inside it as they were all linked up! Traditional 'Wedding cake' was served inside the information centre with tea and it was amazing.

Great place to stop and see the old church and rectory. The rectory and farm house are fully restored to show early 20th century life. Really worth a stop.

We had a fun timed here, with the cows on the other side of the large glass window. We were given small glasses of fresh milk. Also had ice cream and cheese made there and had gyser bread. All very good. Friendly people.

Best way to describe this place is as a old dusty hobbit house :-). Very interesting and steeped in history. Would like to have spent another hour there but was part of a round trip organised by the cruise I was on

This is about 40 minutes away from Akureyri (on car of course).A very nice stop for those who flew by Akureyri on the Ring Road on the way to Myvatn region. You can see the houses and a little church from the outside, which, I think, is the most impressive about this museum. The inside of the houses can be seen through the windows. Therefore, unless you are specifically interested in the tools that the Icelanders living in those houses used, it is not really worth paying the fee to get in to get a self-guided tour around.Overall, it is quite pleasant and a must on your trip agenda in the north.

To visit such An unspoilt area and see the very interesting farm museum with it's turf-clad roof and walls was amazing

We stopped here on our way to Lake Mitvah. We were surprised to see cows right near where we ate. It was fun. The food was delicious. We ate bread that was baked for 27 hours in the ground with salted arctic char. We are now fans of arctic char. It's worth the stop!
