Husafell
Husafell
Husafell is in a lovely wooded lava area with many holiday houses, a nice swimming pool, a sauna, a small restaurant, a gas station, a golf course, a place to rent horses, and a number of areas to take organized walks. Nearby is the Hvita river, which feeds the Hraunfossar waterfall. However, F337 and F338 are not good roads. In fact, those that lead north to Laugarbakki and Blonduos are challenging and the scenery is not very interesting.
Sightseeing in Husafell
On the Hvita River nearby are a string of waterfalls and cascades called Hraunfossar that can be reached on a 2½-mile trail heading west of town. One of the falls is named Barnafoss (Children's Waterfall), so named because two young children once fell into the falls and drowned.
On some weekends, Husafell is the site of some very large and boisterous parties.
Dancing is also available at Bruarland.
