Location & Nearby

Despite its remote surroundings, Uxahryggur is conveniently located only 6 miles (10 kilometers) from the village of Hvolsvollur. There you will find a grocery store, gas station, public swimming pool, restaurants, and cafes.

Furthermore, it is a short distance from one of Iceland's most popular sightseeing routes, the South Coast.

The area around Uxahryggur features prominently in one of Iceland's great works of literature, Njal's saga. Taking place in the 10th century, it is one of the most revered Sagas of Icelanders and encapsulates the area's history and folklore.

A museum dedicated to Njal's saga is located in the nearby village Hvolsvollur, the Saga Center.

Only a short 15 miles (25 kilometers) drive from Uxahryggur, you will find one of Iceland's most popular natural attractions, the Seljalandsfoss waterfall. Make sure to pack a raincoat if you want to walk behind it. A further 32 miles (52 kilometers) drive will take you to another natural wonder, the majestic Skogafoss waterfall.

If you are up for hiking, you can find the Thorsmork mountain range, nestled between three glaciers, only 15 miles (25 kilometers) from Uxahryggur. The contrast between the roaring rivers streaming through black sands and the lush green fields between the mountains is a sight to behold for anyone willing to make the hike.

With a view of the river Thvera, famous for its salmon, and surrounded by lava fields and green meadows, Uxahryggur serves as a beautiful getaway to enjoy the midnight sun in the summer or marvel at the northern lights in the winter.
