The Highland Center Hrauneyjar (Hálendismiðstöðin) is situated at the edge of the country’s most impressive and active volcanic area. From here it is a short distance to many of the most beautiful and popular tourist attractions in the highlands - including Landmannalaugar, Thjorsadalur, Mount Hekla, Sprengisandur, Veidivötn and Fjallabak. The vastness and lack of human impact on the surrounding area makes it truly one of the last places in Europe where freedom, natural beauty and solitude are combined in a breathtakingly powerful experience. The hotel is well accessible by paved road all year round and is only 150 km from Reykjavik.
Driving directions from Reykjavik:
Take Highway Road one (main ring road rod around Iceland) east through the mountains towards Selfoss. Pass through Selfoss and drive east towards Hella. 10 km east of Selfoss turn left onto road no. 30. Continue 15 km (following signs with Sprengisandur) and then turn right onto road no. 32. This road will take you 60 km to an intersection where you find road no. 26 (F26), you follow road F26 and after 10 km you find the Highland Center & Guesthouse Hrauneyjar on your right and Hotel Highland 1.4 km further on your left.
