Hellnar is a former fishing village, located just below the lovely glacier Snæfellsjökull. The French author Jules Verne made this glacier famous in his book "Journey to the Center of the Earth".

In Hellnar there is a small cafe and a hotel. The village Arnarstapi is within walking distance, and there is a delightful, easy walk along the shore to reach this small community. When staying in Hellnar you should drive up to the glacier. The Rauðfeldsgjá Gorge is also close by as well as the cave Sönghellir, known for its echoes.

»It is located very far s the west end of the Peninsula. You had to drive very long ways. It is a big house, the ladder is not easy especially for younger children. If the weather is good you can See Thema ocean and the Mountains at the same time. In the House you could find utensils for cleaning.«
