Description

Location & Nearby
The Laugar Guesthouse is just 29 miles (47 kilometers) from Akureyri, the biggest major town in Iceland’s northern region. Akureyri has several shops, restaurants, grocery stores, and gas stations easily accessible from the accommodation’s location.
The guesthouse is also only 15 miles (25 kilometers) from Lake Myvatn, a popular destination for seeing the northern lights. The area is also geothermally active, with plenty of mud pools, steam vents, and hot springs such as the Myvatn Nature Baths.
Also in the Myvatn area is Dimmuborgir, a collection of black pillars made when lava flowing above the lake caused steam to rise and form columns that cooled into stone. The result is an enchanting and unique formation called “The Black Fortress,” which also comes with plenty of exciting folklore to learn.
