Sports and leisure activities Hólar

This center ensures the quality of the breed. Here, on the Vinðeimamelar plains at the entrance to Skagafjörður, various equestrian events take place. In autumn, you can also attend and even take part in the gathering of sheep, which is brought down from the mountain pastures with the help of numerous riders (called Réttir). This is an important Icelandic tradition, still alive and well. You can also visit a small museum with a collection dedicated to horses.
