Introduction
Tjornin is a beautiful, quiet city lake in central Reykjavik, full of waterbirds, a pleasant urban oasis reflecting colorful houses and city views. Tjornin ("the pond") sits at the city's core, a beloved, beautiful, quiet urban lake. Though small, it is lovely, blue clear water rippling in the center, surrounded by elegant, colorful cityscape: historic buildings and colorful houses (city hall and colorful cottages) reflect in the clear water, photogenic; green spaces and paths; in winter the frozen surface becomes a skating spot. Its liveliest charm is the many waterbirds, a home to ducks, elegant swans, gulls and more, adding vivid life (once nicknamed the world's biggest bakery for feeding; now better to not feed or feed suitable food for their health). Strolling Tjornin, you feel the city's beautiful, quiet, lively ease. Visiting Reykjavik and Tjornin is a pleasant sight.
