Just a few minutes from Reykjavik, Vífilsstaðahlíð is an oasis of wooded hills perfect for walking or cycling. Its trails offer sweeping views of the bay and the capital. The site takes its name from Vífilsstaðir, an old farm mentioned in the Viking sagas. Today, amidst tranquil nature and historical remains like the old tuberculosis hospital, it is a place where sport and history go hand in hand.
