Make the Most of Your Rangárþing eystra Stay

Gateway to Iceland's volcanic heartland

Rangárþing eystra serves as your base for experiencing southern Iceland's most dramatic natural phenomena, where active volcanoes meet cascading waterfalls. The region centers on Hvolsvöllur, offering essential services and the remarkable LAVA Centre, where interactive exhibits and earthquake simulators explain the geological forces that shaped this landscape. Just beyond town, Seljalandsfoss allows you to walk behind its 60-meter cascade, while the thundering Skógafoss creates rainbows in its mist throughout the day.

Wilderness and cultural heritage

The Þórsmörk Nature Reserve requires 4x4 access across unbridged rivers, rewarding adventurous travelers with birch forests and hiking trails framed by 3 glaciers. Skógar Museum preserves centuries of Icelandic life through turf farmhouses and maritime artifacts. The Njáls Saga Centre connects you to Iceland's literary heritage, while nearby farms provide authentic encounters with agricultural traditions sustained beneath these volcanic peaks.

Planning your visit

A rental vehicle gives you flexibility to explore at your own pace, though specialized highland buses reach remote areas during summer. The Landeyjahöfn ferry terminal connects to the Westman Islands in 35 minutes. Members can use miles to arrange accommodations in Hvolsvöllur or nearby Skógar.
