Ice rink in the Christmas town of Hafnarfjörður from 10 November to 23 December 2023
In November and December, the City of Hafnarfjörður, in collaboration with Bæjarbíó, will operate Hjartasvellið, a 200-square-metre ice rink for young people of all ages. The rink was opened in the run-up to Christmas 2021 and has been a huge hit with the younger generation. This year, the Heart Rink will be located, as it was last year, directly opposite Bæjarbíó, outside the Hafnarfjörður Library. This location will create a lovely link between the Christmas Village in the town centre and the light display in Hellisgerði. So, it's the perfect opportunity to pop into Hafnarfjörður Library after your skate to warm up and enjoy a good book.
100% eco-friendly and 100% fun
The heart slide is 100% eco-friendly, as neither water nor electricity is used to freeze it. The rink is built on specially designed synthetic ice plates which have the same properties as real ice, offering great fun, an experience and exercise for the whole family.
