This jogging track is likely the most popular attraction of the Seltjarnarnes peninsula and township. If you plug in the coordinated given below to the Google Maps, you’ll be able to go along a lovely trail that rounds both tips of this breath-taking peninsula. Jog, or walk or cycle, it’s probably the best way to take in the beauty of the town. It will take you past the Nesstofa medical museum, a golf course, curving the tips at the Bakkatjornlake and the Grotta Island Lighthouse, and back down into the main body of the peninsula. You can follow the track all the way to the Whales of Iceland exhibit. And throughout the path you will want to pause and snap hundreds of photographs. It’s a beautiful way to spend a morning.
