For over 30 years people have been coming to Hrífunes for relaxation and to explore the magnificent nature all around. Situated 220 km east of Reykjavik, it is a pleasant 3 hours drive along the main ring road where you will pass many waterfalls and mountains as well as glaciers. After passing the town of VÍK, in the south of Iceland, you continue for another 35 km west and turn off the main road after the Hrífunes sign. From there you carry on for another 5 minutes before reaching Hrífunes.
Hrífunes is located in the beautiful and peaceful surroundings of Skaftártungur between the two majestic glaciers; Mýrdalsjökull Glacier and Vatnajökull Glacier (the largest ice cap in Europe). In Skaftártungur you will also find one of Iceland's densest birch forests.
We offer two types of accommodations: The Hrífunes Farmhouse (The Hrífunes House), and The Campsite one of the best established camping sites in Iceland, where travellers can bring tents, camper vans, trailers and more, either by car, motorcycle, on foot or bicycle.
At Hrífunes our friends next door have a guest house suitable for 8-10 people. Further information on The Cottage.
We sincerely hope that your stay at Hrífunes will be a pleasurable one.
