Best Luxury Hotels In Hvolsvollur

This small Icelandic town may have a diminutive population, but its proximity to the Golden Circle and Route 1(the island’s only main road which runs in a ring) ensures it’s well-frequented and an ideal setting from which to conduct your arctic adventures. The area surrounding it served as the backdrop for the legendary 13th-century Njál’s saga; as such, the town now has a Saga Centre dedicated to this important tale and other famous Icelandic sagas, integral to its history and culture. Stórólfshvolskirkja, the church is well worth a visit too, with its painting by renowned local artist Þórarin B. Þorláksson.
