Kveðskapur dagsins

4. sept, Benedikt Gröndal
There are no translations available.

Köld ertu móðurmold,

mæt þó og unaðsæt:

ríður um reginleið

rósfagurt norðurljós.

Sæl er í djúpum dal

döggin um leiti snögg,

leika við tæran læk

ljómandi fjallablóm.

Bustarfell Museum is a quaint, centuries old, Icelandic familiy, turf and stone house.  It is located in the Nort East of Iceland, picturesque valley of Hofsárdalur, some 20 km´s from the village Tangi. This location boasts of grassy boasts of grassy green valleys, matestic fjords, rugged snow capped mountains, pristine waterfalls, rivers, lakes and streams along the rocky coastline.  In summer, mountain pastures are dotted with sheep grazing, in the 24 hour daylight.

This turf house with red gables and grass-grown roof is one of the oldest and best preserved farms of its kind in Iceland.The house preserves much history about Iceland and its people. A visit to the Museum at Bustarfell is a journey through the history of farming and changes in lifestyle from the beginning of the 18th century to the mid-20th century.

In the year 1770, sadly,  the  original farm burned down, but fortunately but quickly rebuilt and was lived in until the year 1966.  Then the family had built a new house on Bustarfell which they still live in.
