A lonely old farmhouse sits just beside the road with the majestic and colourful Kambskarð and Tunguhyrna mountains as backdrop. As ancient geothermal area in the mountains creates a stunning and picturesque landscape. The scree hills showcase many colours and a spectacular contrast with sharp ridges and rugged peaks. The farmhouse is a modest two-storey house that harmonises perfectly in this otherwise stunning landscape, adding to its charm and allure.
