    I stayed at multiple places in Iceland and this was by far the largest and fanciest! In-hotel restaurant, hot tub, absolutely stunning views and the staff was incredibly friendly/accomodating!

Through the valley Oxnadalur at the base of Trollaskagi, Ring Road travellers will be treated with the finest scenery between Reykjavik and Akureyri. The Ring Road follows the deep and narrow valley for over 30 km and reaches its highest point at an altitude of 540 metres. The whole area is excellent mountaineering country and the weather is as fine as you’re likely to encounter anywhere in the Icelandic mountains [...] The imposing 1075-metre spire of Hraundrangi and the surrounding peaks of Haafjall are probably the most dramatic in Iceland. Early settlers considered the summit of Hraundrangi inaccessible and perpetuated legend of a hidden cache of gold that awaited the first climber to reach the top. It was finally climbed in 1956, but the treasure seemed to have gone missing
