Varmaland

Varmaland combines a quiet farming character with geothermal activity in a way that reflects its position in the Borgarfjörður countryside of western Iceland. The settlement lies in an inland district shaped by the Hvítá river, where cultivated fields give way to open heath and the approach to the highlands. Borgarfjörður is closely tied to Icelandic saga heritage: nearby Reykholt was the home of the medieval writer and chieftain Snorri Sturluson. Deildartunguhver, one of Europe’s most productive hot springs by flow, is also in this part of the valley.
