Árhús is located along the Ranga River,100 km east of Reykjavík on Route 1. Set in idyllic fields on the banks of the river, we offer cottage and sleeping bag accommodation, in addition to a campsite. On site there is a popular restaurant!
The staff of Árhús are familiar with the hiking trails in the South, especially those that are nearby. We know of trails that few people know about and therefore you can hike in solitude. We can also help you find a guide who will ensure your safety.
Hella is an ideal base camp in the South of Iceland for travelling to the most beautiful sights Iceland has to offer: It also used as a stop for before and after the two most famous hikes in Iceland. Þórsmörk to Skógar and Laugevegur.
