The oasis Herdubreidarlindir is one of the most beautiful spots of the interior. A myriad of cold springs at the edge of the lava creates the spring fed river Lindaa, a tributary of the glacial river Jokulsa. The water is the source of the existence of amazingly many species of plants in the oasis. This area is in the rain shadow of the big icecap and the precipitation is minimal both summer and winter.
Sometimes people, who hike into the lava field behind the hut, loose their sense of orientation and get lost. There are camping grounds just east of the hut and daily bus connections from lake Myvatn during summer.
