Wilderness Center / Óbyggðasetur Íslands
Fljótsdalur, 701 Óbyggðasetur, Iceland – Great location - show map
The hotel will give you a taste of traditional living in Iceland. We stayed in the main building where they served breakfast. The interior was decorated as though you were living in the 1940s. The hosts were very cordial and friendly. They gave us a history of the place, which was very helpful in understanding the theme. The breakfast was incredible. We thought that we would not buy but after looking at the setup, we changed our mind and loved it. The location and views were mesmerizing. It is a detour to go there, but well worth it. The drive to go there is paved except for the last few minutes. I don't think you need a 4x4 to go there.
