Description

Discover a haven of tranquility at Fljotsdalsgrund Guesthouse, where the captivating beauty of the Fljotsdalur valley meets the warm hospitality of a cozy accommodation. Nestled in the heart of East Iceland, the guesthouse offers a perfect blend of comfort and natural wonders, providing a unique escape for travelers seeking an immersive experience.

Location & Nearby

Perched in the captivating Vegardur in Valthjofsstadur farm estate, Fljotsdalsgrund Guesthouse is a tranquil retreat at the doorstep of East Iceland's natural wonders. It's set against the stunning backdrop of the Fljotsdalur valley, providing an ideal base for exploration in the region. 

Immerse yourself in the magic of Hengifoss, the third-highest waterfall in Iceland, just about 4.6 miles (7.4 kilometers) away. As sunlight dances on its cascading waters, the ethereal beauty of Hengifoss is a spectacle to behold.

Around 11.6 miles (18.6 kilometers) away from the guesthouse lies the Hallormsstadaskogur forest, a sprawling expanse and the largest of its kind in Iceland. Wander through a thick cover of trees, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and connect with nature in this pristine wilderness. The forest is also a haven for birdwatchers, with diverse avian species calling it home, particularly in summer.

For those seeking panoramic vistas, a trip to Snaefell is a must. Standing proudly at 6014 feet (1833 meters), it is the highest mountain in Iceland outside of glaciers. 

As night falls, Fljotsdalur's minimal light pollution becomes a canvas for the aurora borealis in winter, providing an enchanting spectacle. Venture just a few minutes from the guesthouse, and the untamed wilderness unveils itself, inviting stargazers and nature enthusiasts to witness the night sky in all its glory. 

Also nearby is the Lagarfljot lake, renowned for its scenic beauty and mysterious folklore, particularly the legendary Lagarfljot worm. The creature is said to inhabit the lake's depths, adding an element of intrigue to this picturesque natural wonder.

Egilsstadir, East Iceland's largest town, is around 25 miles (41 kilometers) away. The town has all the basic services for travelers, with a supermarket, souvenir shops, restaurants, an information center, and an airport mainly used for domestic flights.
