A great place for people who love being outdoors..

Hotel Edda Eidar is a quiet summer hotel, located in a great place for people who love being outdoors. You can have a go at trout fishing in lake Eidarvatn, which is only a short walk away, or horse riding or you can spend your day exploring the area walking along one of the many marked walking paths that go from the hotel. There is something for everybody - whether you just want a short walk or are a real mountain hiker.

Dramatic mountain landscape, dropping down to the ocean, with stunning views from summit to shore. Take in the bracing beauty of Borgarfjordur Eystri - the fishing village hugging a v-shape inlet and facing the open sea. Higher up lies Alfaborg, Iceland’s “Elves” capital. Closer to the hotel, hiking trails lead to Lake Eidavatn and nearby Vopnafjordur houses an interesting museum.

UBICACIÓN

Hotel Edda Eidar is located only 12 km from the town of Egilsstadir. Fljotsdalsherad district extends over the basin of two large rivers: Jokulsar a Dal and Lagarfljot. Both merge at Heradsfloi bay a short distance from a natural paradise - Husey.

Egilsstadir is situated at the point where Highway 1 and the roads that lead to the fjords, converge. Egilsstadaflugvollur is an international airport and the main regional one.

The Lagarfljot River is home to the Lagarfljotsormur serpent (Laggi). It has lived there for many centuries, and frequently his head and hump have emerged from the deep triggering both fear and curiosity. It is not long since he was last spotted.

Opposite Egilsstadir on the other side of the Lagarfljot bridge is Fellabaer. A popular 9-hole golf course is located at Ekkjufell.
