Dalir is a family-friendly place to visit, combining historical and cultural attractions with an enchanting world of wildlife and nature.
It is the ideal place to spend a few days away from the hustle and bustle of city life, to relax,slow down, be outdoors, discover, and learn.
When you enter Dalir in West Iceland you come into region of history and pristine nature, an area where you can just be. Be in silence, be in nature, be with the history that is all around, and experience Iceland like the locals do all year through.
You can visit the sites of Auður djúpúðga (Aud “the deep-minded”) famously involved in Eiríkssaga rauða (Saga of Erik the Red) and Laxdæla saga (Laxdaela saga) and see the landscape that effected this intelligent and gracious, wide traveled woman. Or visit the birthplace of Leif “the lucky” Eriksson, son of Erik the Red, where you can see and experience the ways of life and conditions that his family lived in at Eiríksstaðir in Haukadalur. Look out to Breiðafjörður bay with its abundance of islands, islets and skerries. Their number has been estimated to be close to 2500, which only includes those that are not submerged during spring tide and where some vegetations of terrestrial origin is found. You might see seals, puffins, or spot a White-tailed eagle by Breiðafjörður. Not to mention Icelandic sheep and horses, but May is lambing season and after that sheep’s are set free with their lambs for the summer, so you’ll want to drive slowly around the countryside while they might run around the road.
Take time to taste the region, and try some of the many cheeses that are made in Dalir
