More to know about Þykkvabær
Þykkvabær is a small village in Suðurland, southern Iceland, located on the coast near Skaftafell National Park. The area features dramatic black sand beaches, nearby waterfalls, and access to glacial landscapes. Visitors explore hiking trails through diverse terrain, visit local guesthouses, and observe Icelandic wildlife in this remote and naturally striking region.
Þykkvabær is a rural settlement in the Rangarvallasysla district of South Iceland, positioned along the Ring Road corridor approximately 170 kilometres southeast of Reykjavik. The area sits within a productive agricultural lowland framed by the Rangá river system, extensive Laki-origin lava fields, and the glaciated highlands of South Iceland, making it a representative example of Iceland's farming heartland and a practical base for highland and coastal exploration.
