ESCAPE TO THE COUNTRYSIDE OF SOUTHERN ICELAND
With the imposing sight of Mount Hekla on your doorstep and surrounded by natural wonders to discover, this ultra-stylish hotel’s prime location in southern Iceland is designed to unleash your inner adventurer. Countless hiking trails, dramatic landscapes, and spots of serene beauty await anyone who chooses to stay here.
You’re well placed for the Golden Circle tour, too – a 300-kilometre route that takes in some of Iceland’s best tourist attractions. Scuba dive in the icy waters of the Silfra Fissure, witness the dramatic water jet of Strokkur Geyser shoot a hundred metres in the air, and visit the tumbling streams of Gullfoss Waterfalls. The Golden Circle tops many a bucket list and the Fosshotel Hekla Hotel is an ideal location if you’d like to get involved.
You can also reach the spectacular setting of Gjáin by car in less than an hour – an area known for its vegetation, abundance of wildlife, and eye-catching lava fields resulting from centuries of volcanic activity. Waterfalls are everywhere in Gjáin, including the Gjáinfoss, which is a 2-kilometre hike from the ancient Stöng Farmhouse, situated in the Þjórsárdalur valley.
Feeling hungry? You’re not only a 45-minute drive from Reyjavik with its wide range of restaurants and bars, but you’ll also find mouth-watering cuisine at the hotel’s own restaurant – think hearty Icelandic dishes sourced from local ingredients to warm the stomach after a busy day exploring. After dinner, head to the lounge and relax in front of the open fireplace with drink in hand, reflecting on the unforgettable day you’ve had in this awe-inspiring part of the world.
