Rangárþing eystra

By @silvia

Rangárþing eystra is a municipality located in southern Iceland. This area has some of the most famous sights in Iceland, like Skógafoss waterfall, the Eyjafjallajökull volcano, and the valley of Þórsmörk. It’s full of farmland, mountains, rivers, and black sand lands. You can stop at Hvolsvöllur or Skógar, good bases to explore the area, with shops and places to sleep.

Address: Rangárþing eystra, 861, Iceland

  • Known for

    Waterfalls and volcano views.

  • Tips

    Stay the night in Hvolsvöllur or Skógar so you can get to the waterfalls early in the morning before the tour buses arrive.

Every place whispers its story; its cafés, galleries, backstreets, and the animals that live there. My maps are small love letters to culture and to the lives I quietly watch unfold.
