    My husband and I visited Hofsos in early July this year and absolutely fell in love with it. We ended up camping there by happenstance and then spent most of the next day in town swimming in the pool, visiting the basalt columns, photographing buildings and churches, and watching humpback whales play the fjord. It was our favorite town in Iceland and we loved its chill, no drama, lay low vibe. We were so sad to drive away.

    Thank you for the very unique footage of your beautiful country! We're visiting from Canada in a few weeks. Spending a week driving down from Akureyri to Reykjavik, through many little towns and villages. All of these northern spring videos as well as those showing the small villages that are off the beaten path are just the perfect source of information and inspiration! Can't wait!

      Most Icelanders (80%) are members of the Lutheran State Church. Another 5% are registered in other Christian denominations, including the Free Church of Iceland and the Roman Catholic Church. Almost 5% of people practice ásatrú, the traditional Norse religion.

    Whats the situation with wild camping and fishing. Ideas for videos , traditional bushcraft and shelters, traditional food and clothing. I am in West Central Scotland where we are lucky to have the ability to roam the land and wild camp, unfortunately tourists have spoiled some areas on the west of Loch Lomond and that area now requires a permit between spring and autumn.

    • @JustIcelandic
      @JustIcelandic  2 года назад

      Thanks for the idea but here is a fishing idea: veidikortid.is but it's allowed to camp everywhere except on farmlands / fields but not many know of that laws. but I will be covering this topic of course, perhaps next summer :)
