Your hosts
Agla & Haffi

Walk through a landscape shaped by the boundary between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Allow time for the paths and viewpoints before continuing towards the geothermal area at Geysir.

Plan a full day for the main sights and a meal along the way. Daylight and road conditions change with the seasons, so check the forecast before setting out.

In the countryside on the edge of Mosfellsbær, just outside Reykjavík. By car it is about 22 minutes to the city centre, 47 minutes to Keflavík airport and 38 minutes to Þingvellir on the Golden Circle. We send the exact address before your stay.

A car is the easiest way to get here and to explore. The roads up to the houses are serviced all winter, and in eight years Agla and Haffi have never been stuck at home.
