Introducing Egilsstaðir

Show mapClose map

Egilsstaðir is a grey service town and the main regional transport hub. Its saving grace is lovely Lagarfljót (Lögurinn), Iceland’s third-largest lake. Since saga times, tales have been told of a monster, the Lagarfljótsörmurinn, who lives in its depths. All amenities are clustered near the central crossroads, including the regional tourist office (471 2320; www.east.is; 9am-6pm May, Jun & mid-Augmid-Sep, 8am-10pm Julmid-Aug; fewer hours at other times) at the camping ground.
