Pathway to Vífilsstadir and Vifilsstada-lake is paved all the way from our house and you can either go to the playgrounds and frisbee golf in Vifilsstadir or continue to Vifilsstada-lake where fishing is allowed.(https://www.alltrails.com/poi/iceland/capital/gardabaer/vifilsstadahlid, https://visitreykjavik.is/service/vifilsstadavatn-lake).

For those traveling with children I can send a 5 page google document I made with family friendly activities and excursions as well as restaurant recommendations mostly inside the capital area and to the south.



*We have two people renting a studio on the left side of the house, their entrance is also on the left side of the house so should not be noticeable or of any bother.
