Naustaborgir

Naustaborgir is a scenic outdoor recreation area on the southern edge of Akureyri, connected to the popular Kjarnaskógur woodland. The area is known for its distinctive rock formations, open green spaces, wetlands and diverse birdlife, making it a favourite destination for walking and nature observation.

Several walking trails wind through the area, linking Naustaborgir with both Kjarnaskógur and the nearby golf course. From the highest rock outcrops, visitors can enjoy panoramic views over Akureyri, Eyjafjörður fjord and the surrounding countryside.

The wetlands of Naustaborgir provide an important habitat for birds and plant life. A birdwatching hide overlooking the wetland offers excellent opportunities to observe a variety of species, particularly during the nesting season. Ongoing conservation efforts have focused on restoring the wetland and enhancing biodiversity in the area.

Combining natural beauty, wildlife and easy access from Akureyri, Naustaborgir is an ideal destination for a peaceful walk and a chance to experience nature close to town.
