    Museum in peat huts, here you can see how the people lived at that time. Highly recommended.

    Glaumbær farm's turf houses were built between the 18th and mid-19th centuries. The courtyard was inhabited until 1947, after which the complex became a museum courtyard. A visit is very informative and the buildings with the church are very photogenic.
