Dynjandi

Southeast Iceland


In a dramatic Ring Road location, at the foot of mountains about 3km east of the Höfn turn-off (a total of 9km from town), Dynjandi is a small and cosy three-room guesthouse on a photogenic horse farm (note: no cooking facilities). The friendly Austrian-German hosts are passionate horse breeders and glacier/hiking guides, so they're full of good local info.
