In-Depth Information
Farm workers walk you through pretty fields with endangered Icelandic goats; coffee or
tea included. The farm's most famous resident is Casanova, a bright-eyed goat who had a
starring turn in
Game of Thrones
(running from a dragon). Call ahead; at time of research
the fate of the centre was undecided. Find it on dirt-road Rte 523, northeast of Reykholt.
