Description
The cabins at Þakgil are only open during the summertime. Each cabin has sleeping-bag accommodation for 4 guests with two double bunk beds. Kitchen with a gas stove and refridgerator. W.C but only cold water on tab. There is a shower with warm water, at the campsite, next to the cabins.
Þakgil is located between Höfðabrekkuafrétti and Mýrdalssandur. The name Þakgil, þak meaning roof and gil meaning canyon, and as the name suggests the weather is usually very good. To get there you turn up from road nr.1 by Höfðabrekka (5 km east of Vík). The road up to the camping site used to be a part of hightway nr. 1 until 1955. Just follow that road and you will find a sign that ponts at Þakgil.
On site, there are a lot of bautiful hiking routes fit for everyone. Camping site, bathrooms and shower are available. The dining room is a naturally formed cave, and in it there is a grill and a fireplace
