Sveinstindur Hut and Campsite

The Sveinstindur Mountain Hut is situated to the southeast of Mt. Sveinstindur. The access track for 4WD vehicles is located just off the track to Lake Langisjor and is marked. During the first part of summer, quicksand can be expected, so hikers should exercise caution. A marked hiking trail from the track to Lake Langisjor and the hut, and from there to the top of Mt. Sveinstindur, takes about three hours. The breathtaking view from the top on a fine day is indescribable. An interesting day’s hike lies along the foot of Mts Fogrufjoll. The old farmers’ sheep roundup hut was restored by the Touring Association Utivist in the autumn of 1999 and now fits perfectly into the landscape. It is heated with a small oil furnace, and a gas stove and all necessary utensils are available for cooking. During summer, the hut has running water and can accommodate up to 22 people. Transport from Holaskjol to the Sveinstindur Mountain Hut area is available upon request at nat@nat.is. Book in advance: Mountain Hut Sveinstindur Price: ISK 7,000 per person Camping Sveinstindur Price: ISK 2,000 per person.
