Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лип 2021
- Eyrarbakki is old fishing village. One of the major cities of Iceland in the past. It competed with Reykjavik for the status of the capital of Iceland. Nowadays it is just a village. The oldest timber house (the black house next to the church) of Iceland, the oldest school in Iceland all found here. Eyrarbakki is the museum under open air.

Thankyou for showing us. Very different from the U.K. It looks like there is more space there.
It looks so clean, the residents must be very proud of the town.
It's so clean and tidy, everything is so well kept. I like that there are houses that seem to have built with no concern for maintaining a perfect grid, just however the builder chose.
Very peaceful.
Dear Roman!
Very many thanks for this wonderful bird view. Great place! Nordic soberness and solidity. The music
has been absolutely congenial. Stay all well you there!
That was just lovely, thanks for the views🥰
Wow! Such pretty houses and then the vastness of the landscape, beautiful! Thank you for showing us! 👋🇮🇸🇨🇭
Iceland is special! 😊
So unusual and such a beautiful area, they look like doll houses.
Doll houses my thoughts exactly, so perfect.
Coming over to here from viewing the channel that shows the squalor and the slums of India and Philippines. The area that tourists don't get to see.
Hard to believe this is on the same planet !
What a wonderful sensation, to be flying up high with birds in the sky. So peaceful. Great music. Such a pretty little town. Beautiful buildings, vibrant colours, stunning coastal seascapes and green, green fields. 😍 Luv it! Thank You for sharing. Stay safe. 🙏
Children story book with colorful huts & houses, very interesting, reminds a bit Scandinavian towns or villages, very organic, clean & simple. Perfect place to spend retirement.
The houses look so cute from that viewpoint.
Really neat a lot of striking homes, many different colors and they blend together perfectly.
Very picturesque village. Would love to visit it.
Such pretty houses. Well maintained too!!!!!!!
It's nice to see small gardens in many back yards.
Wow. What a beautiful village. The houses are so varied, yet somehow similar. There are a few empty lots I see that I would just love to have, as well as many of those homes. Suddenly I have the urge to paint my entire house black. Breathtaking! Looks like lava 💛. I bet it's a whole different scene when there is a storm!!! Very flat.... but I'm used to that, as I live on a glorified sand dune. You help to make Iceland soooo appealing. I've GOT to go.
Beautiful looking village! Thank you for sharing.
What a lovely village! So neat & clean! I noticed the jetties along the shoreline. That is something that was done here, as well, in hopes of stabilizing our barrier island beaches.
Oh I would love to visit. So pristine, beautiful, colorful. Hard to believe those are old homes. Thank You so much for sharing.
Very Picturesque ! Nice drone work!
What a pretty town! I love all the colourful houses and roofs! My favourite is the turquoise roof!
My favorite is that black house, don't remember anything like that before at least that COLOR.
@@icost4671 I noticed that, too! Very striking!
@@lynnquinn7244 never knew a black house could look so good.
Helps to complete that very beautiful dollhouse setting that these houses project 👍 🏆
@@icost4671 - Black might be a very practical color in a cold climate, since it would absorb heat from the sun.
An eclectic mixture of building styles and colours. Not easily approached from the sea.
Very peaceful place and looks really a remote area.
I lived there for 8 years. Icelanders take pride in their surroundings and keep everything neat and tidy.
Many houses have their own garden with trees. Such a beautiful and peaceful view! 😍
The black color of the old timber house is from tar, isn't it? I heard that it was used to protect the houses in older times.
looks so colorful and clean. Thanks for sharing.
Thank You , love peeking at life there. It’s so beautiful, clean and green. The black houses are so cool . It’s all so very different from Southern California where I’m from. I would really like to see inside homes and close up of peoples yards and gardens :)
Wow, so incredibly beautiful! I want to live there! I can't handle the heat. Probably my Nordic blood. I've never seen such a beautiful little place. Thanks Roman! Great footage!
The colours of the homes always amazes me. You are going great guns with your drone footage 👏👏🥰🥰
Very nice picture quality!
This is Christmas Village houses for real! Nice small community I bet everyone knows everyone.
Oh wow I so wish I could visit Iceland, I'm dreaming of cod and chips. In South africa we don't have cod. I am happy to say that I did eat it once in 1999 when I was fortunate to be on a business trip to Manchester and my boss took me on a road trip into Wales on our day off and we had cod and chips. It was the best fish ad chips I've ever eaten. Ahhhhhhhhh I can dream can't I ??? Iceland is on my list of top places to visit soon!!
Now all I need is the rich husband.....
I'm Icelandic and I loved this video. I was last in Eyrarbakki about 30 years ago. I love the way you do them ,slow and return, so that we can really get the full view and feeling of the place. I've subscribed , just in case you keep showing us beautiful and videos like these.
Where I live everyone has high walls and electric fences. It's so refreshing to see open spaces, no barriers. No fear there I guess. Not like in South africa.
Very nice, very clean and tidy. Not that the uk is untidy, well most places😁. Thank you for showing us around. Regards from UK
Seems you're having fun already with your new toy !
Geothermal heating keeps everything clean
A really lovely video, and the music is just right. It is the first time I have seen trees on Iceland. Are there any naturally grown?
How very beautiful!!
Perfect.
Wow! I find it strange to see houses painted black, I have never seen houses painted that color in my life, it would seem crazy in other latitudes.
The music is hauntingly beautiful. Who is it?
It is so clean and pretty. How much is the average home? Its beautiful. It's so perfect it doesnt look real.
Beautiful
I can ID the church, but did not see a food store. I saw a gas station. Did not see the school. Very beautiful village. TFS
I found the prison, but can't find a food store either!
@@PanamaRose I looked up the prison on google. I saw that, but it looked like a school to me. The soccer field looked too nice for a prison.
GutnTog I noticed something very interesting in this video. Starting at about 5:50 you captured an interesting traffic "intersection." On the left side there is a yellow house - I assume it is a house, and on the right a house with a green roof. The two structures are closer together than all of the others on the road. As a result, the road narrows so that only one car can pass at a time. What is unique is that I did not notice a stop sign, traffic light, or even a yield sign on either side of this location. In America this would never be the case as we are on an endless quest to a. Assign liability to everything under the sun b. Can't trust human beings to do what is right and or safe - especially if that means considering the wellbeing of others.
Is Iceland that civilized that people simply do the right thing there? They dont speed through or try to get through first at the risk of a crash?
Seriously... your people and country are amazing.
In my country those houses would end up with cars in the kitchen.
Have you ever been there?
Like a toy village lol. Very colourful buildings
Seems like a nice place to live.
Retirement!!
Never seen black matte houses and so many of them, must attract heat I supose.
Does Iceland allow you to fly a drone over people, roads and populated areas?
Yes, even over the most of Reykjavik. Just some areas are restricted like Parliament and Government area in Rvk, Litla Hraun prison etc.
@@IcelandExplorer Was going to ask the very same question, as many countries have stricter drone rules, that's interesting to know!
Another fine video gorgeous little town,how long does the battery last and what is the maximum height you are allowed to fly?

I am a bit surprised by so many flat or almost flat roofs. I assume you get a lot of snow there. and it seems like flat roofs would be a problem.
Not much activity going on?
And very picturesque.
The town I grew up in is about that big. 250 people. I’ve raised all my kids in the city. My youngest says where I grew up “isn’t a town-that’s a neighborhood.”
Not as pretty as this one, regardless of size!
Black houses must absorb heat in cold weather!
Who is the music
Beautiful. But where does one go for gasoline & groceries?
How old?
Very nice looking community that's built for winter. Is fishing still the leading employer there?
No fishing there anymore
Reading the description and looking at the harbor it appears abandoned
Yes
What do people do for a living?
@@gregsanderson2470 Iceland's largest prison, Litla-Hraun, is nearby, and according to Wikipedia one of Eyrarbakki's main employers. German Wikipedia also says that people commute from Eyrarbakki to Selfoss and even Reykjavík.
What is the reason for so much white roofs?
As you said it is just a village these days but it seems like a nice quiet town with lots of room to grow and varying allotment sizes , just for the interest of any 'potential immigrants', what would an average sized block of land here cost in US$ ?
Do you have many stickybeak people .?
must be damn old, seeing as there are practically no trees in Iceland. How far do they date back?
No graveyard next to the church i see. So where do you put your dead?
Do you suppose that the oldest house is black to absorb the heat or just because someone likes black?
No caso de uma tsunami não SOBRA nada da cidade
Where are the people....oh silly me...theyre at the volcano
Che tristezza ecco perché hai visitato la siciia😀😀😀😀
