Hire a car in Skagastrond with Hertz
The small town of Skagastrond stands on flat land on the east side of the Húnaflói bay between two peninsulas in the north of Iceland. The capital, Reykjavik is 17 miles south. Behind the town stands the distinctive peak of Spakonufell mountain, which reaches over 2,1 feet above sea level but can be easily walked via footpaths. From the summit, the views over the bay are renowned. It's an area famed for its bird life and unspoiled scenery, and Skagastrond forms a handy hub for guided tours of the area. Visitors who rent a car in Skagastrond can drive around the Bay area easily and they'll soon find the island's main arterial road, Route One, is about seven miles south.
Skagastrond is a busy fishing community with modern seafood processing factories.
