Hidden oasis in South Iceland

Sightseeing

Message from Jan In Iceland

Þakgil, known as the "Roof Canyon," it's like an oasis with lush green valleys and spiky mountains covered in velvety moss. It's a hiking paradise with a option of staying in the camping site which even has a cozy dining area inside a cave. It's a mystical and serene spot that feels like a secret hideaway in nature.
