Húshólmi and Óbrennishólmi, situated in the Ögmundarhraun lava field, above Hólmasund strait, in the westernmost section of the Krýsuvíkurbjarg cliffs, just west of Selatangi point. The Húshólmi and Óbrennishólmi sites exhibit ancient ruins, houses and gardens, sometimes called Old Krýsuvík. There are indications that there once was a church on the site as well. The ruins are thought to be from the earliest years of Iceland’s settlement. The Ögmundarhraun lava field flooded the area in the 12th century, covering the settlement. Today one can still see the remnants of three houses and a church, as well as large gardens, a stone sheep enclosure and a shepherd’s hut. Access to Húsahólmi is good for hikers. It is also possible to drive to the location in off–road vehicles. The hike from Ísólfsskálavegur road begins at the signpost for Húsahólmi, continuing down along the edge of the lava field until the Húshólmastígur hiking path is reached, then continuing about 1.1 km east through the lava field. The entire hike from Ísólfsskálavegur road takes about one hour.
