Ósar Hostel and Cottages

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Ósar Hostel and the cottages across the road are beautifully located on the Vatnsnes peninsula. With a little luck, those staying there can spot not only sheep but also seals from their room windows. The Hvitserkur cliff is a short (black) walk along the beach. The view from the old farmhouse or the cottages over the fjord with its black sand beach and the sea is incredible.

Seal Viewpoint Near Hvítserkur

Highlight • Viewpoint

Ingenious seal view point near Hvitserkur. Take the official parking lot, choose the right path to the beach or to the rock view point, then down to the beach and right along the beach to almost red house.

Hvítserkur rock formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

A short path leads from the parking lot to the viewing platform with a view of the peculiar rock formation in the sea. At low tide you can walk on the black beach to the rock.
