Located on the shore of the magnificent glacial lake Hvítárvatn, this old travel lodge is believed to be haunted by a young woman dressed in grey.
The Icelandic Touring Association built the lodge in 1930. It stands close to some old farm ruins, with Langjökull, Iceland’s second largest glacier, dominating the horizon to the north.
Although difficult to understand today, people used to live year-round in this far-off place in the central highlands where winter storms can rage relentlessly for days.
The basis for farming, and existence in this harsh area, was the wetlands around the lodge, forming a green oasis during the summer months.
If you are afraid of ghosts, avoid the room with the bunk bed, which is frequented by the girl in grey.
