1 Best Sight in The Highlands, Iceland

Hvannalindir

This splash of green in the monochrome Highlands is a true oasis. Fed by Lindaá river springs and rich with alpine vegetation—especially angelica (hvönn), from which the location derives its name—the area is a delightful stop on the Kverkfjöll route (F903). The discovered ruins of what is believed to be the hideout of legendary 18th-century outlaws Fjalla-Eyvindur and Halla adds historic charm.
