WESTERN SKAGAFJÖRÐUR
Skagafjörður is renowned for horse breeding and wild landscapes - this, plus its historic
remains and adrenalin-infused activities, make it a rewarding destination. Look out for the
growing emphasis on culinary tourism, and the red stamps on menus highlighting local
produce. For more information, see

This Ring Road service centre is slightly more than a road junction and yet not quite a
town, and it's a great base for white-water rafting and horse riding.
