When the peanut gallery starts moaning, ‘Are we there yet?’, you know it’s time to head to Erpsstaðir, the perfect place to stretch your legs. Like a mirage for sweet-toothed wanderers, this dairy farm on the gorgeous Rte 60 (between Búðardalur and the Ring Road; with high mountain valleys, streams and waterfalls) specialises in delicious home-made ice cream (Ikr400). You can tour the farm, greet the buxom bovines, chickens, rabbits and even guinea pigs, then gorge on a scoop. The farm also sells skyr and cheese; try the rocket-shaped skyr-konfekt (meant to look like an udder), a delicious dessert made from a hard white chocolate shell encasing thick skyr . It’ll blow you away.
Erpsstaðir also offers accommodation (from Ikr13,000) if you’re contemplating ice cream for breakfast…
