Skeiða- og Gnúpverjahreppur

By @silvia

Skeiða- og Gnúpverjahreppur is a small municipality in south-central Iceland with farms, rivers, and mountains. It is peaceful and has very few people. One highlight is Þjóðveldisbær, a turf-house farm built to show how Icelanders lived in medieval times. The area also works as a base if you want to go to the highlands.

Address: Skeiða- og Gnúpverjahreppur, 804, Iceland

  • Known for

    Quiet countryside and views of the highlands.

  • Tips

    Stay overnight if you want to enjoy the countryside. Always check road conditions if you plan to drive into the highlands.

About @silvia

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.
