The location
Langanes peninsula
Find solitude at the Arctic Coastway
Ytra Lón Farm & Retreat is situated in the midst of Langanes Peninsula, on the far reaches of one of Iceland’s most remote corners. As far as one can get from Iceland‘s capital.
The peninsula stretches for 40km into the ocean and culminates with Fontur at its very tip. Popular with bird watchers, hikers, and seekers of solitude, Langanes boasts the third largest gannet nesting site in the world. It is also here that thousands of kittiwakes, puffins, and guillemots fly in every year in May and June to breed and congregate along the towering cliffs that make up their summer breeding grounds.
Langanes Peninsula is a wonderful walking country, with spectacular scenery and routes for all abilities. There are hiking trails leading directly out from Ytra Lón, some less than 2 hours, others taking several days.
There is so much to see along the peninsula. Tackle the 719m tall Gunnólfsvíkurfjall, the area’s highest peak. Or climb the “Misty Mountain” or Heiðarfjall, where the remains of an old NATO radar station still stand from the Cold War.
The abandoned village of Skálar, once a prosperous fishing settlement, is worth exploring too. At the peninsula’s tip stands the Fontur lighthouse, dating back to 1910. It provides mariners guidance along the perilous cliffs, where many ships have been wrecked. The Engelskagjá (English Gorge) there commemorates a group of English sailors who died after their ship crashed against the dangerous rocks.
Most important of all, here you experience wild nature, with the birds, foxes, and lambs, With Trolls, Elves and Fairies. With an abundance of medicinal plants. With the healing water of the river and the ocean. With the powerful energy of the mountains. Your senses regenerate and expand. Your mind rediscovers natural contentment and peace.
