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. 

Views of the flourishing contryside of Borgarfjörður, with Hafnarfjall mountain, Baula mountain and the glaciers Eiríksjökull and Langjökull. 

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.
