The northern lights create a vibrant display of green hues across the night sky, illuminating the clouds above a mountainous landscape. A warm glow from distant farm buildings can be seen at the base of the mountains, framed by a wooden fence in the foreground.
Barn in Mosfellsdalur

The Old Barn – Special place in spectacular nature

The farm is settled in the most beautiful scenery you can imagine. Powerful mountains all around, sound of the fresh salmon-river, waterfall in the breath taking canyon. Aurora Borealis from your window, when the conditions are right. Great for getting away. Relax or be creative. Mindful hiking in the untouched nature and enjoy farm live. Middle of nowhere, and yet it is only 22 km. drive from Reykjavik City Center. Many points of interest are within easy reach like the Golden Circle, 2 min.
