Laugarás village
The house is located in a small village called Laugarás. It is nice to walk around the village and in the summer time there is a small shop with vegetables from the area. There is a walking path by the river, it starts by the big signs after you cross the bridge before entering the village. There is a playground for kids in the middle of the village, by the main road through the village.
Slakki petting zoo is in Laugarás, perfect to visit if you are travelling with kids.
