From the opening of a new bridge "Vesturbrú" inaugurated in the beginning of July.  This bridge is a part of an outdoor recreational area of the delta of the river Eyjafjarðará which is the main river in the valley of Eyjafjörður some 5 minutes’ drive outside town’s centre. This recreational area is great for many outdoor activities such as biking, hiking, riding and bird watching. The old main road no 1 used to go through this area but since the newer road across the fjord was opened closer to town in 1986 it was turned into a part of the towns recreational area.
