The name Höfn means ‘harbour’ as the town is located in one of the few natural harbours of Iceland’s South Coast. This destination is often visited by those embarking on the entire Ring Road of Iceland, serving as a convenient stopover either before or after exploring the South Coast or East Fjords. Steeped in history, Höfn has long been a vital trading and fishing port. It has gained popularity for its fresh seafood, particularly the local lobster.
