​the story

This is a historical little cottage. It is one

of the first cabins in Iceland that were

built exclusively for tourism. Before

that, travelers had been staying with

hosts inside their houses. The triangular

shape is common to see with old cabins

of the time and for smaller cottages

located here and there around the

highlands.

 

the name

Hákot means 'high little home'. It is the highest cottage at the farm, meaning the highest cottage up the hill, and definitively a little home. The 'há' part comes from 'hár' or 'hátt' which means high and 'kot' means a little home.
