Viðvíkursveit

Viðvíkursveit is a district in Skagafjörður, Iceland east of the Héraðsvötn, on the border of Akrahreppur along the Kyrfisá river to Kolka and on the east side towards the mouth of Hjaltadalur valley. It comprises the same area as Viðvíkurhreppur did before the creation of Skagafjörður County. The part of the region south of Gljúfurá river is called Hofstaðapláss and is often not considered to be a part of Viðvíkursveit. Viðvíkurfjall waterfall overlooks the eastern portion of the area, and to the west is the Héraðsvötn, followed by Lónssandur beach on the outside of Austurós estuary.
