Tröð forestry

The walking trail through Tröð forestry is fun and varied. The forestry is a beautiful and good place to enjoy the environment and enjoy being together. The forestry trail is a fun outdoor trail where you can assess a campsite, the Maritime Museum and the new service building of Snæfellsjökull national park. In 1950, Kristjón Jónsson started farming in Tröð by Hellisandur. A beautiful area that stood in the lavafield and became popular early on among forest-and arboriculture enthusiast. In 2002, the Forestry and Land protection association Under the Glacier, signed an agreement with Snæfellsbær to take over the management of the area, based on a special cooperation agreement. The area is well sheltered, an ideal place to enjoy the surroundings and use the hiking trail that connect the forestry to the campsite, the sports area, the Maritime museum and Snæfellsjökull national park service building. Tröð forestry is an „Open forest“, as it was officially open in 2006. Accessibility and facilities are exemplary but into the forest you can find many hiking trails, resting places, informations and facilities for cooking. The forest is surrounded by a rock-filled fence, but beyond the fence there are more hiking trails in the surrounding area. Snæfellsjökull shines brightly from the forestry and the hiking trail around the lava field is a fun experience.
