Your Perfect Base in South Iceland Nestled in a prime location for exploring the stunning natural beauty of South Iceland, Veiðilundur offers both comfort and convenience. Just a short drive from some of the country’s most iconic destinations — including Þingvellir National Park, Gullfoss, Geysir, Laugarvatn, Flúðir, and Selfoss (only 20 minutes away) — this cozy retreat puts adventure at your doorstep. Even a day trip to Skaftafell is within reach! Located right by the serene Þingvallavatn lake, the area boasts numerous scenic hiking trails, perfect for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The property features two bedrooms — one single and one double — with an additional double bed located upstairs, where you can fall asleep beneath the glow of the midnight sun. Enjoy a modern bathroom with a quality shower, a welcoming lounge area, and the added convenience of a laundry room that even includes a small, relaxed hangout space. Whether you're looking for a quiet getaway or a launchpad for adventure, Veiðilundur is the ideal choice.
I work as a software engineer and had the wonderful opportunity to live in a hunting lodge for two years — a truly memorable and enriching experience. I was born and raised in the Westfjords, where a deep connection to nature has always been a part of my life. Few places have resonated with me as deeply as Þingvellir, where the landscape feels both raw and remarkably gentle. Throughout my life, I’ve been fortunate to live in various parts of Iceland, often close to nature, which I deeply value. Professionally, I’ve contributed to many areas of society through my work as a software engineer, and I’m grateful for the diverse experiences that have come with it.
Þingvellir – Where Nature and History Meet Þingvellir National Park is one of Iceland’s most treasured sites, rich in both geological and historical significance. It lies in a rift valley where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet — a dramatic landscape shaped by the slow drifting apart of these massive plates. This natural wonder makes Þingvellir a unique place on Earth, where you can literally walk between two continents. But Þingvellir is more than just a geological marvel. It’s also the birthplace of Iceland’s democracy. In the year 930 AD, Viking settlers established the Alþingi, one of the world’s oldest parliaments, right here. Chieftains and their followers would gather at Þingvellir each summer to make laws, settle disputes, and celebrate community life in true Norse tradition. Today, Þingvellir is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where visitors can explore lava fields, crystal-clear springs, and centuries of Icelandic history — all in one breathtaking location.
