Getting here
About 20 km, in the forest at Lundskógur in Fnjóskadalur.
Yes. The route from Akureyri uses the Vaðlaheiðargöng toll tunnel. Arrange payment at veggjald.is; if you have a rental car, check its toll arrangements too. Turn right toward Lundskógur after the tunnel and follow our map pin.
Use our map pin to find the house. The house and its access road are new, so searching the address in Google Maps or a car GPS may not bring you to the door.
Winter and the northern lights
Yes, the house is open all year, and Lundskógur has a winter snow-clearing service.
Between late August and mid April, on dark nights with clear skies and aurora activity. Sightings are never guaranteed; the Icelandic Met Office publishes an aurora and cloud cover forecast.
