The house outlooks a small creek, where you can even fish if you want to - or admire the swans and ducks that have built their home there. Kids love to go there and feed the birds bread every now and then.

There are walking paths in both directions and playgrounds either way, only 3-5 min walk. There is also beautiful old lava nature spot across from the playground if you walk to the right from the house.

Downtown Hafnarfjörður is only a 10-15 min walk away a, and Fjörukráin, the Wiking willage is also about 10-15 min walk. There is a great outdoors swimming pool close by called Suðurbæjarlaug with hot and cold tubs, sauna, steamroom and kids areas and two waterslides, plus one for the tiny ones ;)

The great lava nature is close to Hafnarfjörður, as it is built in the middle of a very old lava pool. Lot of walking paths run from Hafnarfjörður, great mountains and hills you can climb and quite a few caves you can explore. Hvaleyrarvatn is also close by, maybe 10 min by car - it is a wonderful small lake, paradise for kids in summer and nice for walks as well. But you might need a car to get to these spots :)

There are bus stops 2 and 3 min away and one of the buses (nr. 1) takes you straight downtown Reykjavík, might take around 30 min depending on traffic.

Mid november each year Hafnarfjörður creates an extraordinary christmas wibe - the Christmas Willage, it is not to be missed!
