The scenic Icelandic town of Hofn directly translates to “Harbour” and the name is quite fitting as the sea is the lifeblood of this quaint town. Not only does Hofn boast a booming fishing industry, but it also offers a range of attractions and things to do, including the most prominent glacier in Europe, named the Vatnajokull. On a pleasant summer’s day, the town offers visitors plenty of opportunities to enjoy the splendors of nature. Take a stroll along the waterfront as you listen to the soft laps of the waves or simply find a quiet bend and watch the grandeur of the glaciers. You can take the 30-minute drive to Stafafell Nature Park, or visit the iconic Jökulsárlón Glacial Lagoon, an hour’s ride by car.
