Danielslundur Forestry
Daníelslundur forestry was the first forest to be opened as an Open forest in 2002. The forest is by the main highway, but highway no. 1 lies at the feet of the forestry.
Daníelslundur forestry is named after Daníel Kristjánsson, a forest ranger from Hreðavatn, who was the front man of Borgarfjörður forestry association.

Daníelslundur has numerous resting places and a panoramic view of Borgarfjörður. The forestry is by highway no. 1 and therefore the forest is frequently visited by tourists and residents of the area. The trails through the forest are varied and plentiful.
