The long drive from Staðarskáli (formerly Brú) to Hólmavík is pleasantly pastoral, with rolling hills dotted by small farmhouses and lonely churches. The small Sheep Farming Museum, 12km south of Hólmavík, details the region’s farming history through photos and artefacts. Chessboards, pie, ice cream and coffee in the cafe (snacks Ikr700 to Ikr 1200) may keep you around longer than expected.
