Promenade

It's also ideal to go on a coastal walk at Hlein Nature Reserve or to go fishing at Flensburg Harbour or the North Quay. It can test your patience, but it's always just as much fun when a fish bites!

Photographic exhibition

Hafnarfjörður Museum of Local History Photographic exhibitions on the harbour promenade highlight the daily lives and history of the people who built the town. After the walk, it is also ideal to look at the windows of the Beggubúð, where numerous old dolls and other toys are on display in the window display.
