Arts & Culture
Volcano Museum
6 AðalgataStykkishólmur’s quaint maritime charm comes from the cluster of wooden warehouses, shops and homes orbiting the town’s harbour. Most date back about 150 years. One of the most interesting (and oldest) is the Norska Húsið, now the regional museum. Built by trader and amateur astronomer Árni Thorlacius in 1832, the house has been skilfully restored and displays a wonderfully eclectic selection of local antiquities. On the 2nd floor you visit Árni’s home, an upper-class 19th-century residence, decked out in his original wares.
The museum also hosts occasional art exhibitions

Parks & Nature
Djúpalónssandur
Mikil náttúrufegurð, fallegt myndefni.
Holy Mountain, 73 m with a breathtaking panoramic view across Breiðafjordur Bay. A viewing dial is at the top.
Folklore advises anyone climbing the mountain for the first time to start north of the church at the grave of Gudrun Osvifursdottir (heroine of Laxdaela Saga, died 1008) and three wishes will be granted when ascending the mountain without looking back or speaking. The wishes have to be of good intent, and the wisher tells no one and faces east when making them!
A small remnant of a wall on the mountain top is dated 1184 and was part of a nearby monastery built at this time.
