The famous Egill Skallagrímsson, a particularly ill-tempered Viking settler, claimed the land around what is now the town of Borgarnes. Even though Skallagrímur, Egill’s father, had already settled here, his men were allowed to settle within his borders. One of these men was Bjarni, also called Bjarni the Red. This nickname comes from the fact that he was the first man in Iceland to smelt metal from red bog iron (“mýrarrauði”) – an ingenious process where particularly iron-rich water from bogs or swamps was worked to create weapons and tools. Easily identified by the red hue of the soil, these bogs exist in abundance at Gufuá, making it an ideal location for any future Vikings settlers. https://www.gufua.com/en/abouttheexperiences daily 0.75 2026-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c6a252b691d575a2490ee/1609680758084-KSQ5OCF23PGBHL4XYS3A/Gufua-22.jpg ABOUT THE EXPERIENCES - Goat Walk You will be taken for a guided walk with our goat bucks Gandalf, Fili, Kili and the rest of their fellowship through the beautiful surroundings of our farm. The trek starts at the goats barn and ascends into the wild farmland close by, where you’ll learn some interesting facts connected to the Icelandic goats while walking them on a lead - goats take to trekking quite easily! The walk itself is at a leisurely pace, there is no solid concrete path and it involves a bit of hill and slope walking. Please note that high heels and flip flops are not encouraged. Our hope is that this experience will allow you to reconnect with a quieter side of life, one that allows our visitors to experience nature and animals, as well as relax and release tension. It will be funny, refreshing and relaxing all at the same time, and a great picture opportunity! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c6a252b691d575a2490ee/1609680719567-ZIIXUJRB4C082ELD4MWG/Gufua-15.jpg ABOUT THE EXPERIENCES - Along The Cairn Path When driving or hiking around Iceland, you might come across stone Cairns, called “Vörður”, ancient way-markers located in strategic spots that used to show travellers their way. Our farm Gufuá happens to have several Cairns scattered around it, which Sigga took months to find and renovate. In this experience, we´ll be walking in the pristine surroundings of our farm Gufuá in West-Iceland, treading a path between Cairns that mark our way. The Cairns will give us the perfect chance to take in the beautiful scenery around us while diving deeper into the history of these magnificent structures. You’ll hear some traditional tales about the hidden people living in the Icelandic rocks, the elves and other nature spirits that belong to this land. The walk is not too strenuous, and we will walk at a leisurely pace. Bear in mind that you will be hiking, so there is no solid concrete path and the walk involves a bit of hill and slope walking. https://www.gufua.com/en/contact daily 0.75 2021-01-20 https://www.gufua.com/is/bokaupplifun daily 0.75 2020-11-13 https://www.gufua.com/home_2-1 daily 1.0 2020-12-20 https://www.gufua.com/is/bylid daily 0.75 2021-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c6a252b691d575a2490ee/1605224486650-LONOZQPDLJ7W6IJZ3LBS/Gufua-21.jpg BÝLIÐ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c6a252b691d575a2490ee/1605224511422-KG4YEPX330C817KKV6AV/Gufua-18.jpg BÝLIÐ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c6a252b691d575a2490ee/1605224544190-K3IJ4WIKZ5I8AGIYJ5E5/Gufua-8.jpg BÝLIÐ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c6a252b691d575a2490ee/1605224534362-XQU9UZY845TKJJFVYMPP/Gufua-12.jpg BÝLIÐ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c6a252b691d575a2490ee/1605224482641-7BVJ0G5MGQQNYMB66L5M/Gufua-10.jpg BÝLIÐ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c6a252b691d575a2490ee/1605307816579-YV6BDFX86VIO7WK9MTFW/Gufua_31.jpg BÝLIÐ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c6a252b691d575a2490ee/1605224708988-JGDJ4272PJ7J0FI7FOAX/Gufua-6.jpg BÝLIÐ - SMÁ FORSAGA Bærinn okkar stendur á berglögum sem eru ein þau elstu á Íslandi. Egill Skallagrímsson, hið alræmda skáld og vígamaður, átti stór landsvæði kringum Borgarnes fyrir rúmum 1000 árum síðan. Skallagrímur faðir hans nam landið en leyfði mönnum sínum að búa innan þess svæðis sem hann hafði numið. Einn þessara manna var Rauða-Björn og var hann landnámsmaður á Gufuá. Viðurnefnið kom frá því að hann var fyrsti maðurinn á Íslandi til að bræða járn og vinna málm úr mýrarrauða. Til þess beitti hann vísindalegri aðferð þar sem járnríkt vatn úr mýrum var notað til að búa til vopn og verkfæri. Mýrar þessar eru víða á Gufuá og eru auðþekkjanlegar út af rauða litnum. Landið er því fullkomið fyrir alla víkinga framtíðarinnar. https://www.gufua.com/is/umupplifanir daily 0.75 2026-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c6a252b691d575a2490ee/1609679653012-XHBCPYTVU87QRPOCT0NJ/Gufua-22.jpg UM UPPLIFANIR - GEITALABB Þú skellir þér í labbitúr með höfrunum Gandálfi, Fjalari, Kjalari og restinni af föruneyti þeirra um fallegu jörðina okkar.

Á Gufuá er að finna fjölmargar ævafornar vörður, þ.a. eina stóra og svaka flotta sem sést víða að úr Borgarfirði. Undanfarin ár hefur Sigga fundið fleiri merkilega og forna vegvísa landnámsjarðarinnar og lagfært þar sem þörf hefur verið á, þannig að nú er auðvelt að finna vörðurnar í landslaginu.

Við förum yfir sögu Gufuár frá landnámi, til nútíðar og framtíðaráform. Endum í gömlu fjárhúsunum og heilsum uppá bústofninn sem þar er, íslenskar geitur, hesta ofl. Gangan er hvorki of erfið né hröð. Hafa skal í huga að leiðin liggur um ósnortið land og yfir á og fólk þarf að vera í hentugum skóm og hlífðarfötum eftir veðri.

Ég hef stundað nám í lífrænum landbúnaði við Landbúnaðarháskóla Íslands á Hvanneyri og lokið kennsluréttindanámi í vistrækt (e. permaculture). Sjálfbærni og samspil milli manns og náttúru eru stór hluti af lífstíl mínum. Ég hef mikinn metnað fyrir því að deila því sem ég hef lært með öðrum og sýna fram á að best er þegar allir hagnast - fólk, náttúra og dýr. https://www.gufua.com/book-1 daily 0.75 2021-01-07 https://www.gufua.com/en/book daily 0.75 2026-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c6a252b691d575a2490ee/1611149478583-21MIUAHJS1R4F2SC36JT/Gufua-22.jpg BOOK - GOAT WALK https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c6a252b691d575a2490ee/1611148861075-690R9PYM4V2X2B25WCE5/Gufua-15.jpg BOOK https://www.gufua.com/is/boka daily 0.75 2026-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c6a252b691d575a2490ee/1611149478583-21MIUAHJS1R4F2SC36JT/Gufua-22.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c6a252b691d575a2490ee/1611148861075-690R9PYM4V2X2B25WCE5/Gufua-15.jpg https://www.gufua.com/en/shop daily 0.75 2020-12-22 https://www.gufua.com/en/shop/p/59jupalnkdh03a92ozi9ettw9jstpb monthly 0.5 2020-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c6a252b691d575a2490ee/1605109808165-YUEXWMZLTW2FEGXRD404/gufua_2.jpg SHOP - Gift Voucher for 2 People https://www.gufua.com/is/verslun daily 0.75 2020-12-22 https://www.gufua.com/is/verslun/p/style-01-2f3kx monthly 0.5 2021-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8c6a252b691d575a2490ee/1608652666812-HSL9SEKCX7CFM10VXX86/gufua_2.jpg VERSLUN - Gjafabréf Fyrir Tvo
