This 73 m-high hill in an otherwise flat valley, once considered holy to the worshipers of Thor, is a nice place to stop and stretch your legs. There is a small fee to climb, as the hill is on private property, and the gentlemen manning the entrance was selling beautiful hats he was knitting himself! The climb is easy save the last little bit of scrambling up rocks, but the views of the surrounding valley, river and fields are spectacular. Bring a jacket, as the wind on the top is fierce. Also, take note on the wish-granting protocol clearly marked at the beginning of the climb, and you will have your wishes granted upon reaching the top! Note that there is a small car park on site, and clean washrooms across the road, which are reserved for people who pay the entrance fee.

The Norwegian House - The regional museum of Snæfellsnes. The Norwegian house was built in 1832, it was the first wood-frame residence with two full-sized stores in Iceland. The wood was imported from Norway hence the name. It was the home of Arni O. Thorlacius (1802–1891) and Anna M. Steenback (1807–1894) and has been renovated partially back to its original style. The Norwegian house serves as the regional museum for the Snæfellsnes area with an open storage on the top floor and rotating exhibitions on the lower level as well as a museum shop with handicraft, sweets and products from the area.

This extraordinary church building dominates much of the village skyline. The external design seems over the top, with a lot of different themes, but the internals are simple and stylish, right down to the minimalist light fittings. Set on an elevated site, the car park offers lovely views over the many surrounding islands. Do visit this lovely church.
