Trail description
A flat 1.2 km loop at Laufas on the eastern shore of Eyjafjordur, a church site and parsonage since the conversion of Iceland to Christianity. The old turf farmhouse was built in its present form by the farmer Johann Bessason in the late 19th century and served as the parsonage until 1936. It is now a museum furnished as around 1900, next to the church built in 1865.
