All about Út um allt

Yes, the capital area’s outdoor recreation website, Út um allt, is now celebrating that a year has passed since its launch in February 2025. Its goal is to gather information about walking routes, cycling routes and outdoor areas in the capital area in one place, both in Icelandic and English.

At launch there were 30 walking and cycling routes on the website, but they are now 64 in total and cover the entire capital area. Each route includes useful information such as difficulty level, length and estimated walking or cycling time, along with users being able to see their own location on the map and follow the route in real time.

The website has a powerful search function where you can filter by municipality, facilities, services and accessibility. The website also contains descriptions of 36 outdoor areas, their locations and possibilities. Increased development and promotion of the website is planned for 2026.

The creation of the website was one of the priority projects of the capital area’s regional development plan and supports its goals of a healthy environment and a healthy lifestyle. With Út um allt the aim is to make the area’s outdoor opportunities more visible and thereby encourage increased physical activity, resident enjoyment and better use of green spaces.

The website is a collaborative project of the Association of Municipalities in the Capital Area and the Capital Area Marketing Office.

Yes, there are certainly opportunities here to experience Hafnarfjörður in a new way!
