THE FARMLIFE OF RAUÐASANDUR
There are three farms in the area, Melanes to the east and Stakkar & Lambavatn at the other end to the west. All these farms have sheep that can be seen running around outside during the summer, enjoying life. Please note that they cannot (and should not) be approached, they are easily spooked and can get separated from their lambs. They also very much like their privacy 🙂

We offer 3 small sleeping huts and each one has two single beds. The huts share facilities with the campsite.

The huts can be booked on www.airbnb.com

WELCOME TO THE MELANES CAMPSITE
The campite is located by the beautiful beach of Rauðasandur with a great view of Látrabjarg birdcliffs. The campsite is open from May 15th until September 15th (last evening to stay is September 14th).

Our facilities include: kitchen, bathrooms and showers.

Harbor seal colony

On the beach is a Harbor seal colony with up to 200 seals. When the tide is low, the seals lay on the sand and are easy to watch.

The french coffee house at kirkjuhvammur
Hiking

All around are beautiful hiking trails for all types of hikers, ranging from easy to very difficult. From an easy walk such as hiking to the ruins of an old farm, Sjöundá, just a 15 min walk from the campsite. To the difficult hike to the lighthouse in Skor with steep slopes and elevation, which takes about 90 min one way.

The coffee house is located in the middle of Rauðasandur, close to the church. It is open during the summer and serves the most delicious french chocolate cake. They also have an impressive collection of sand from all over Iceland and even from various places in the world. We highly recommend that you sit down for a cup of coffee and enjoy the view of both Látrabjarg bird cliffs and Snæfellsjökull glacier.

Bobby Fischer center

It houses memorabilia of the 11th World Chess Champion BOBBY FISCHER as well as the Selfoss Chess Club.

The American Bobby Fischer became the World Chess Champion when he defeated the Soviet grandmaster and reigning World champion Boris Spassky in Reykjavik in the summer of 1972. The match is generally referred to as the Match of the Century.

It took place at the height of the Cold War, mirroring the tense relations between the two superpowers, United States of America and the Soviet union. Since 1948 Soviet chess players had held the World championship title – uninterrupted for quarter of a century.

On display at the Bobby Fischer Center in Selfoss are among other things Spassky´s and Fischer´s scoresheets, a printout from the radiation measurements demanded by Spassky´s delegation after the 17th game and a replica of the chess board used during the match which was staged in Laugardalshöll in Reykjavik.

In addition many curious items related to Bobby Fischers s stay in Iceland during his last years ( 2005-2008 ), for example his chair from the antiquarian bookshop Bókin in Reykjavik. He died on 17th of January 2008 at the age of 64. Bobby Fischer´s final resting place is at Laugardælir cemetery a few hundred meters away from Bobby Fischer center.
