STOKKSEYRI

STOKKSEYRI

Stokkseyri, pop. 559, is a charming village renowned for its beautiful seashore, breaking ocean waves and birdlife as well as being rich in handicraft and culture. Workshops, galleries, Ghost Center and the Elves and Northern Lights Museum are all located in a Cultural Centre, Menningarverstöðin, an old fish processing factory that has found a new role due to changes in the fishing industry. The Wildlife Museum is dedicated to hunting and wildlife, and contains a large number of mammals and birds. The bunkhouse Þuríðarbúð provides an excellent example of how fishermen had to make use of what nature provided. Stokkseyri also offers one of the most famous seafood restaurants in Iceland, an outdoor swimming pool, kayak tours and a campsite. East of Stokkseyri is Knarrarósviti Lighthouse, built in 1938 and put into operation a year later. For further information, visit the tourist information at the local Café, Gimli Kaffihús.
