Þakgil is a hidden gem in South Iceland that offers a magical experience. Nestled between Mýrdalsjökull glacier and the vast sands of Mýrdalssandur, Þakgil is like an oasis in the middle of rugged terrain. The name Þakgil, which means "Roof Canyon," is fitting because it's said to have pleasant weather and acts as a shelter from the constant wind. With its green valley, spiky mountains covered in velvety moss, and a lovely waterfall, Þakgil is a perfect spot for camping or renting a cozy cottage. And don't forget to explore the neighboring Remundargil canyon, which is equally majestic.
