Caraway Seed harvesting with an ethnologist
The Caraway Seeds on Viðey Island are ripe for picking, and you are invited for a memorable and educational harvesting trip. The ferry leaves from Skarfabakki at 18:00.
Once we are on shore, we will collect the caraway while being given detailed information about its uses and where it thrives by Björk Bjarnadóttir, an environmentalist and ethnologist. Bring a cloth bag, a small knife or a pair of scissors for this event. The walk will take 1,5-2 hours. After that, guests can return on the ferry when it suits them.
