Nobel Prize winner Halldór Laxness would have been 100 years old on 23 April 2002. He was an incredibly prolific writer and wrote 62 books over a 68-year period. Over 500 editions of his works have been published, and they have been translated into 43 languages. Halldór’s books are an important part of Iceland’s culture, and most Icelanders have read some of his works.
The Mosfellsdalur valley, where Halldór grew up on the farm Laxnes, is the site of the historical Mosfellskirkja church. On the valley’s south side is a cluster of friendly greenhouses. Halldór built a house for himself and his family at Köldukvísl, and named it Gljúfrasteinn. That house has now been turned into a museum. In his later years, Halldór wrote the book Í túninu heima (Home in the Hayfield), in which he described his childhood experiences at his home in the Mosfellsdalur valley.

My old teacher Póri founded this horse farm in 1968 and it's still run by the same family. Their gole is still to offer a top quality riding experience every day, all year round for individuals and familes.

The most popular hike in the capital area is our mountain Esja. About 10 minute drive from my house to the parking area. Then you have about 60 minute hike up to the stone (Steinn). It's possible to go all the way the top but only recommended for experienced hikes (steep cliffs). Suits perfectly to enjoy the outdoors and the view over the capital area, and it,s also a good exercise. Good to have shoes with rough soles.

You can swim in that part of the sea that has been heated or you can go into the cold water. Many do so everyday but others for the adventure or to freshing up sore moscles. After the sea bath you can sit down in a hot tup and then take a warm shower in the closet rooms.
