The apartment is located just a few steps from a golf course and a very nice recreation area (a forest with lots of rabbits) with walking/running trails as well as mountain biking trails. A ski resort is in Mt. Hlíðarfjall (hlidarfjall.is) which is just by the town, where you can rent skiing equipment. A grocery store, a botanical garden, swimming pool, an ice skating rink and a gym are in walking distances from the apartment. The old central town is very beautiful, with nice restaurants and coffee houses.
