On Rte 32, before it crosses the Þjórsá, the high-tech and hands-on Búrfell hydroelectric plant, decorated by one of Sigurjón Ólafsson’s largest sculptures, allows visitors to its really engrossing multimedia centre, complete with games for generating hydroelectric power and exhibits on osmosis, tidal, wind and solar power. The whole place thunders with its turbines churning, which you can visit, along with a firetruck for the kids. It's really bizarre when contrasted with the wild landscape outside.
