Hella
Iceland
This modest village in southern Iceland on the banks of the Ytri-Rangá river, Hella sits on Route 1 between Selfoss and Hvolsvöllur, roughly a two-hour drive east of Reykjavík. Founded in 1927, it serves as an agricultural service hub and carries a full range of practical amenities — hotels, a campsite, a pool, and restaurants. The area around Gaddstaðaflatir is one of Iceland's best-known horse sport venues, having hosted the national equestrian championships six times.
