Our farm


Kolugil

Syðra-Kolugil is in the north west of Iceland only 2 ½ hours drive from Reykjavik, in a very grassy valley named Víðidalur. In Víðidalur horsebreeding and sheepfarming is the most common way of living.
Syðra-Kolugil is very good farm for breeding horses as we own a lot of land.
Our land reaches up to the mountain Víðidalsfjall in the east and to the south all the way to the highland fence.
It´s a short trip for our horses go to the summervacation in the highlands.

In the Area of our farm we have lots of beutiful nature.
Víðidalsá is famous for two things, Kolugljúfur which is a 3 km long canyon were two beutiful waterfalls Kolufossar
Kolufossar is named after the trollwoman Kola who lived in Kolugljúfur catching salmons.
In a little hill just beneht the farmhouse of Syðra-Kolugil the tales says that Kola have hidden her gold and everyone who dare to dig after it will be cursed! The other thing is salomon fishing, people come from all over to fish in Víðidalsá river.
