Fossatun is hotel by a waterfall steeped in troll-folklore.Photo by Regína Hrönn Ragnarsdóttir 

Fossatún is a country hotel, renowned for being a centre to learn about Iceland’s troll folklore.

Explore this area on a self drive tour in Iceland.

Nearby are Troll Waterfalls; in the cliffs next to them, the formation of a troll face can be seen amongst the rocks. For those staying at the hotel, there is a troll walk, where visitors can learn many local tales while enjoying the verdant countryside. The beautiful Skessuhorn mountain dominates the scenery, and the rushing river Grímsá is an excellent place to watch salmon jumping in summer.
