Description
Solsetur Guesthouse is a charming place to stay in Raufarhofn, the northernmost town on the Icelandic mainland. Guests taking a unique holiday far off the beaten track or embarking on a slow-paced Ring Road adventure will find its location incredibly convenient and its ambience most inviting.
Location & Nearby
Raufarhofn is a very far-flung town, far from the Ring Road of Iceland, yet still has groceries and other services that travellers require; it even has its own geothermally heated swimming pool. It boasts incredible views, both out towards the coast and inland towards the mountains, both of which can be seen from the Solsetur Guesthouse.
The closest feature of note near the hotel is the Arctic Henge, an enormous modern monument built to honour the solstices and phases of the year in the same manner as Stonehenge; it takes just twenty minutes to walk to.
By car, you can reach the Hraunhafnartangi lighthouse and the point of Rifstangi in 15 and 20 minutes respectively; these are the northernmost points on Iceland’s mainland, less than a kilometre from Arctic Circle.
Those taking a slow-paced Ring Road adventure around Iceland will appreciate the Solsetur Guesthouse’s position between the sites of north Iceland the east. Within three hours, you can reach the capital of each region, Akureyri and Egilsstadir respectively.
The hotel is also reasonably close to the sites of the Diamond Circle sightseeing route; the most powerful waterfall in Europe, Dettifoss, and the whale-watching town of Husavik are just an hour and a half and two hours away.
