Modrudalur is a village located in the eastern part of Iceland. Right in the middle of "nowhere" in the wilderness of Iceland, you will find the highest inhabited farm in Iceland Modrudalur at 469 meters above sea level.

It is always a pleasure to stop at Möðrudalur and have a soup or a cake at the Fjallakaffi restaurant. I went for the moss soup this time, which may sound a bit unusual and I heard different opinions about this soup, but I must say I am a fan of this sweet and uncommon soup! Would definitely come back again.…
