Raufarhöfn
Raufarhöfn is Iceland’s northern-most village, apart from Grímsey Island. Like so many other coastal villages, fishing was the driving force in the community in the 20th century. Tourism is growing in Raufarhöfn and with the Arctic Henge at its doorsteps, it’s definitely a place to visit.
In Raufarhöfn you’ll find Kaupfélagið – a very playful and picturesque restaurant/cafe with a nice selection of cakes as well as fish & fries. Please note that the opening hours can be different during winter time.
Don’t miss out on:
Hraunhafnartangi
A short (approx. 3km both ways) marked path to the lighthouse at Hraunhafnartangi. The Arctic Terns are “special protectors” of the area and will not hesitate to dive down on your head, so take one of the sticks that are lying on the ground and wave above your head for your protection. Leave it when you return for others. The track is not very visible at times but try to keep on it and don’t go far out on the moss.
