Skorradalsvatn
Skorradalsvatn (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈskɔrːaˌtalsˌvahtn̥] ) is a lake in the west of Iceland. It is situated in a narrow valley between the Hvalfjörður and the valley Reykholtsdalur (see Reykholt). Its length is about 15 km.
Around the lake there are some high mountains, for example Skarðsheiði [ˈskarðsˌheiːðɪ]. Unusually for Iceland, the shores of the lake are quite forested due to reforestation started by a governmental initiative. Consequently, the valley looks a bit like some regions in the Alps, for example near Salzburg in Austria.
The lake is also a reservoir so that the level of the water surface has been raised.
There are no villages on the shores, but many of summer houses.
