Hofði (Höfdi) nature reserve

Hofði (Höfdi) nature reserve

This small nature reserve was originally a private garden. Visitors are welcome to walk through its woodland, a mix of native and introduced tree species. 

Paths lead to several viewpoints over the lake, which is especially shallow at this point. Look down into the clear water and perhaps spot some ducks around this very pretty part of Myvatn. 

In nearby Kalfastrandarvogur see curious lava stacks lining the shore. This was one of the film locations for the HBO series Game of Thrones. Here you go beyond the wall in the famed TV series.
