22 Gönguferðir HOME TO CHALLENGING TREKS Í Skagafirði er að finna fjölbreyttar og fagrar gönguleiðir, hvort sem er fyrir stuttar göngur og létta útiveru, eða lengri og meira krefjandi ferðir fyrir göngugarpa. Það er magnþrungið að sjá Skagafjörð taka á sig gjörólíka mynd þegar horft er niður í fjörðinn af fjöllunum sem umlykja héraðið eða til hálendis Íslands og nágrannabyggða. Nokkrar gönguleiðir á fjöll eru stikaðar og færar flestum til uppgöngu (sjá kort á bls. 6 7). Gefin hafa verið út tvö göngukort um gönguleiðir um fjallgarðana í vestanverðum Skagafirði og fjögur göngukort um gönguleiðir um Tröllaskaga í austanverðum Skagafirði. Göngukort og gagnlegar upplýsingar um gönguleiðir og fjallaskála má fá í upplýsingamiðstöðvum ferðamála í Varmahlíð og á Sauðárkróki.

Some trails in the mountains are pegged and are accessible to most walkers (see map on pages 6 7).

Fyrir vikið er þar að finna allmargar heitar náttúrulaugar og góðar sundlaugar. Natural hot water flows widely through the fjord, as a result we boast a large number of natural hot springs and swimming pools. Í Skagafirði eru yfir sumartímann opnar alls sex sundlaugar og laugarnar á Sauðárkróki, Hofsósi og í Varmahlíð eru opnar allt árið. Á öllum sundstöðunum eru notalegir heitir pottar þar sem upplagt er að slaka á eftir góðan ferðadag í Skagafirði. Aðrar sundlaugar eru á Bakkaflöt, Hólum í Hjaltadal og Sólgörðum í Fljótum. Náttúrulaugar í Skagafirði eru nokkrar en þekktust þeirra trúlega Grettislaug á Reykjaströnd. Þar hafa síðustu ár verið byggðar upp hlaðnar laugar við fjöruborðið þar sem talið er að útlaginn Grettir sterki Ásmundarson hafi baðað sig að loknu frækilegu sundafreki úr Drangey. Aðrar frægar náttúrulaugar eru Fosslaug skammt frá Reykjarfossi og Biskupslaug í nágrenni Hóla í Hjaltadal. There are 6 swimming pools open in Skagafjordur in the summer. Hofsos, Saudarkrókur and Varmahlid are open all year round. All have hot tubs where you can sit back and relax after a good day travelling around Skagafjordur.

Over the last few years these pools have been built up near the shoreline and it is believed that the outlaw Grettir the strong bathed in the natural spring after his famous swim from the Island of Drangey. Other natural pools include Fosslaug next to Reykjafoss and the Bishops pool near Holar.

48 Fuglaskoðun HOME TO BIRD WATCHERS Í Skagafirði og nærsveitum er fuglalíf með því blómlegasta sem þekkist á Íslandi. Í eyjunum á Skagafirði, Drangey, Málmey og Lundey, eru varpstöðvar hundruða þúsunda sjávarfugla. Í héraðinu sjálfu má svo einnig finna eitt mesta votlendissvæði landsins og er það án efa með mikilvægustu fuglasvæðum landsins. Mikill fjöldi fugla verpir innan þess, fellir þar flugfjaðrir og kemur þar við á leið sinni til og frá landinu. Hluti af votlendissvæði Skagafjarðar hefur verið friðaður með tilliti til fuglalífs og friðlandið við Miklavatn og Borgarskóga hefur verið sett á lista Bird Life International yfir mikilvæg fuglasvæði í Evrópu. Skagafjörður er því vel varðveitt paradís fuglaskoðenda en á tiltölulega afmörkuðu svæði eru sjófuglar, vað- og votlendisfuglar, mófuglar, spörfuglar, hænsnfuglar og ránfuglar. Aðstæður til fuglaskoðunar eru jafnframt mjög góðar. Á fjórum fuglaskoðunarstöðum í nágrenni Sauðárkróks (sjá kort á bls. 6 7) hafa verið sett upp fuglaskilti með upplýsingum um þær fjölmörgu tegundir sem þar er að finna. The Skagafjordur region is home to a large variety of birds, hundreds and thousands of which nest in the islands of Drangey, Málmey and Lundey. The wetlands on the mainland are without a doubt some of the most important bird habitats in Iceland. Many birds nest in the area while others use it as a stop over point during their migratory periods. Parts of the marshland are now nature reserves for birds and the nature reserve near Miklavatn and Borgarskógar are listed in Bird Life International as one of Europe s most significant bird habitats. Skagafjordur is a paradise for birdwatchers. In some areas there are small pockets where seabirds, waders, field birds, passerines, grouse as well as birds of prey nest. Conditions for bird watching are also very good. There are four bird watching centres near Saudarkrokur (see map on pages 6 7) where signs bearing information about the many varieties of birds to be found in the area 48 Skagafjörður

Matarkistan Skagafjörður er verkefni sem hleypt var af stokkunum fyrir nokkrum árum og gengur út á að ýmsir aðilar í héraðinu vinna saman að því að efla skagfirska matarmenningu og koma henni á framfæri. Veitingastaðir sem eru þátttakendur í Matarkistu Skagafjarðar hafa að leiðarljósi að elda úr skagfirsku hráefni og er maturinn þá ýmist framleiddur eða unninn í Skagafirði og framreiddur að skagfirskum sið. Réttir sem eru að stærstum hluta úr skagfirsku hráefni eru merktir á matseðlum veitingahúsanna. Colourful cooking An essential aspect of travelling to a far off country is getting acquainted with its food culture, not least sampling its unfamiliar national dishes. To taste, to experience and enjoy. The Skagafjordur Food Chest is a programme which began a few years ago with the aim of getting local producers working together to promote the food culture of the region. Restaurants which are participating in the programme use as many locally sourced ingredients as possible and produce the food according to local custom. The dishes on the menu which have the food chest logo are predominantly made using local ingredients. Allt árið um kring eiga ferðamenn á leið um Skagafjörð þess kost að nálgast fjölbreytt úrval af skagfirskri matvöru á veitingastöðum, í verslunum eða jafnvel á mörkuðum og beint frá bændum. Leitið að merki Matarkistunnar Skagafjarðar og bragðið brot af því besta í skagfirskri matargerð. All year round visitors are able to access a wide range of local produce in restaurants, shops, markets or even direct from the farmer.
