    Brilliant place to stop over on a trip from Reykjavik to Akureyri. Very warm and welcoming staff. Nice views of the waterfall, with scenic walk around the troll garden.

    We were blown away by the gorgeous setting, the friendly staff, and by how clean everything was! This was the least expensive stay on our trip around the Ring Road and it turned out to be one of our favorites. Our camping pod for four was charming...

Fossatún is located so close to the river bank of Grimsa-River,a top salmon fishing river, by Troll Waterfalls and in the center of the beautiful Borgarfjordur. The pods are situated by a service house with hot tubs, changing rooms showers and toilet
My live revolved around music and my vinyl record collection is my witness. I am also a writer of troll books - inspired by our location and The Troll Waterfalls. Me and my wife are the heart and soul of Fossatún and have created our special menu.
Fossatún is located in mid-West Iceland very centeral to travel from in different directions.
