Information

The Álftavötn hut is an old one used by farmers when gathering their sheep from the highlands. Members of Útivist rebuilt it some years ago, and now it is a really cosy and comfortable hut.

The easiest way to Álftavötn is from Skaftártunga by road F208. North of the highland center Hólaskjól, a left turn is taken to road F233. The unbridged river Syðri-Ófæra must be crossed. Those unfamiliar with the river should get information about the best place to cross the river, the warden at Hólaskjól will most likely know that. A short while after crossing the river a left turn is taken into a path leading almost to the hut, the last 200 meters must be gone by foot. The GPS-waypoints of those crossroads is N63°53,816 / W18°42,195.
