  • When does the F208 close again? Would it be possible to drive as far as the lake Bláhylur in late September?

    It depends on how early it will snow up there if it would be possible or not.

  • Hi - we are looking to stay at your hotel 21-22 May 2020 and driving from there to the south of Iceland on F208 road if it is likely to be open. Do you think it will be open at that time? Many Thanks Malcolm

    Dear Malcolm Thank you for your question. It is quite unlikely that the road F208 will be open in May, usually the roads open around mid June. Best regards Helga

  • Hi Helga, We're looking to book a room 30MAY. Can we access your hotel with a 2WD? It looks like we need to drive a few kms on the F26 (dirt road).

The Highland Center Hrauneyjar

The Highland Center Hrauneyjar

The Highland Center Hrauneyjar is situated at the edge of the country’s most impressive and active volcanic area. It is the last stop before entering the vast and untouched interior of Iceland. The Highland Center aims at offering you a “complete” Highland experience from the moment you arrive in Iceland’s interior. Our staff are knowledgeable, helpful and multilingual and are always ready to assist guests during their stay. We aim to provide the best accommodation, excellent food and exciting activities at The Highland Center Hrauneyjar.

Our staff comes from all around the world. Our staff endeavors to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable.

The Highland Center is close to many of the most beautiful and popular tourist attractions in the highlands - including Landmannalaugar, Þjórsárdalur, Mount Hekla, Sprengisandur, Veidivötn and Fjallabak. The vastness and lack of human impact on the surrounding area makes it truly one of the last places in Europe where freedom, natural beauty and solitude are combined in a breathtakingly powerful experience.
