Húsafell

Húsafell farm now serves as a hub of service for various types of tourists visiting and residing in its surrounding area.

The Húsafell surrounding area thus includes a wide array of second homes, tent sites, holiday housing and short term lodgings.

The actual estate of Húsafell farm stretches all the way to the roots of Eiríksjökull and Langjökull, covering all in all an area of appr.

In the olden days, back when the main route from the northern part of Iceland to the south lay across Arnarvatnsheiði, Húsafell would find itself to be an oasis of food and lodgings for weary travellers making their way across this country highway.

Today, the sculptor Páll Guðmundsson, a descendant of the Húsafell, lives and works at creating interesting faces which he cuts out of local stone.
