Torfastağir is in the southern part of Iceland, on the way to Geysir and Gullfoss. There is about 80 kilometers drive from Reykjavík the capital of Iceland. The distance from Keflavik, the airport, is about 115 kilometers. Drífa Kristjánsdóttir and Ólafur Einarsson own Torfastağir and live there. The farmland that covers about 600 hektars, is all grown and extreamly beautiful.

A child development home and school was run, by Drífa and Ólafur, in Torfastağir for 25 years. It was founded 1979 by us and we derected it the whole time. More information about the work with the children and the school we provided for the children is on this homepage.

Icelandic horses are the big interest in Torfastağir. There are around 80 horses in Torfastağir, about 15 breeding mares, and many young horses afrom one to five years old.
At the age of three the horses are tamed and trained. Many horses were used for the teenagers which were in therapy, others were mostly used in the summer when therapautic trips were made into the highlands and the nature of Iceland was enjoyed.

The summer 2003 a summerhouseland was designed. Now there are many different (lóğir) awailable either for renting or selling.
The view in the summerhouseland is outstanding, very beautiful.
