Bustarfell
The striking row of crimson-painted gables topped with green turf set this traditional dwelling apart from others in Iceland. It's now a museum offering unique insight into farming practices and domestic life from the beginning of the 18th century through the mid-20th century, and visitors can marvel at a collection of artifacts, including handmade chess pieces and baby booties knitted with human hair. Homebaked goodies and coffee are available at the on-site café. It's open daily from June to September, and by request at other times.
