Leitisgarður has been part of Esmar’s family since the 1500s. Over generations, the family has lived closely connected to the land. Esmar has spent his life tending sheep and exploring the mountains. He has also worked as a guide to Enniberg, one of Europe’s highest sea cliffs. Because of this, he knows the area around Viðareiði in great detail.
One of the highlights of the farm is the bird garden. What started as a small idea has grown into a colourful and creative space. Today, it is home to a variety of birds, including ducks and geese. At the same time, it has become a popular place for visitors, schools, and families. A small café is also being developed, which will offer a relaxing place to enjoy the surroundings.
