In-Depth Information
Fishing village Breiðdalsvík is beautifully sited at the end of Breiðdalur. It's a quiet place
- more a base for walking in the nearby hills and fishing the rivers and lakes than an at-
traction in itself.

Sólvellir 14;s/d incl breakfast Ikr17,050/23,250; )
Located in the centre of 'town' (we use that term lightly), Hótel Bláfell has smart, mono-
chrome rooms, free sauna for guests and a superb guest lounge with open fire. Don't be
put off by the featureless decor of the restaurant - the evening buffet (Ikr5900) is justifi-
ably popular.
Campers can pitch a tent at the free
campsite
out the back. The hotel's owners have re-
cently taken over
Cafe Margret
, a cosy guesthouse and cafe outside town, on Rte 96
heading back towards Stöðvarfjörður.
Kaupfjelagið
CAFE
(Sólvellir 23; 10.30am-6pm Jun-Aug)
Kaupfjelagið serves up coffee and light meals to passing travellers with a side order of
info, souvenirs and outdoor clothing.
