Recreation

Akranes offers a full choice of many fun things to do all year round.  It would be hard to find anywhere with as many outdoor attractions, most within the town of Akranes or just outside the town limits. It is enough to mention Mt Akrafjall itself – its beauty draws people to admire it every day and for some the hike up the mountain is a soul-satisfying experience.
