Hostel Details

Stykkishólmur is the largest town on the Snæfellsnes peninsula. Fishing is the main occupation, but it is also an important trading centre. Stykkishólmur is surrounded by a very picturesque landscape and islands. The Hostel is in one of the oldest houses in the town and has been completely renovated. On the Hostels own boat you can visit an ornithologist´s paradise, something never to be forgotten. You will see Cormorants diving, Puffins burrowing and Kittiwakes nesting on their basalt cliff haven. You will explore the island of Purkey, once a thriving sheep farming community but sadly, a thing of the past. Fishing? No problem. You can drop your line over the side and presto! fish ready for barbequeing back on the Hostels patio. Next Hostels: Grundarfjörður 46, km - Hamar, 97 km
