In-Depth Information
Hótel Buðir HOTEL
( GOOGLE MAP ; 435 6700; www.hotelbudir.is ; Buðir;d incl breakfast Ikr34,900-49,900; )
Windswept and on gorgeous, remote coastline, Hótel Buðir tries to be stylish, though it's
beseiged by tour groups. No 28 has the best views (and a teeny balcony). The restaurant
(mains Ikr4700 to Ikr5700) is sometimes closed to those not in prebooked tour groups.
Lýsuhóll to Gerðuberg
Horse ranches dot this area (several offering accommodation). Grassy fields and sandy
beaches alternate with lava fields and mountain backdrops, making for great riding coun-
try.
Sights & Activities
Gerðuberg LANDMARK
Just where Rte 54 curves between the Snæfellsnes Peninsula and the mainland, you'll find
the dramatic basalt towers of Gerðuberg rising from the plain.
Ytri-Tunga WILDLIFE
The deserted farmstead at Ytri-Tunga, just east of Hof, occasionally has a colony of seals
offshore.
Lýsuhólslaug GEOTHERMAL POOL
( GOOGLE MAP ;admission Ikr550; 1-8pm Jun-mid-Aug)
The geothermal source for Lýsuhólslaug pumps carbonated, mineral-filled waters in at a
perfect 37°C to 39°C. Don't be alarmed that the pool is a murky green: the iron-rich water
attracts some serious algae. Find it just beyond the horse ranch at Lýsuhóll.
