Location & Nearby

Hotel Husafell may be immersed in the spectacular landscapes of Iceland, but it is still close to the many significant sites of the region. For example, the twin waterfalls of Hraunfossar and Barnafoss are only four miles (seven kilometers) away. The former is renowned for its peaceful ambiance and the latter for its power and dark history.

Meanwhile, the cave of Vidgelmir is just seven miles (eleven kilometers) away, where you can take guided tours to see the wonders of Iceland's underground world.

The village of Reykholt is 13 miles (24 kilometers) away, which is renowned for its history as the home of Snorri Sturluson.
