One of the most unique places in Iceland is the old, abandoned house in Dvergasteinn. While the house is technically off-limits, visitors can peek inside the building through broken windows to get a glimpse of the vintage Icelandic décor and dream about what life would have been like if the family never moved out. A defining feature of the house is the quaint garden, where guests can admire the variety of succulent plants that still grow. The building is also a great spot for bird watching, as the area is a popular haunt for puffin and other species of sea birds. From the grounds, visitors can also enjoy magnificent views of the North Atlantic and the island of Grímsey. Come and explore the secrets of this special house and fall in love with the peculiar atmosphere of remote Icelandic destinations.
