Dreki is located at the southern foot of the mountain massif Dyngjufjoll at the mouth of a synonymous gorge, Drekagil.  The oldest hut was built 1968-1969 and the newer 2003-2004.  The huts accommodate about 50 people.  During summer the huts are attended by a warden.  A camping site is near the huts.  A track for 4wd vehicles connects the huts with the ringroad (#1) via Herdubreidarlindir and continues to Mts Kverkfjoll, via the Gaesavotn Route to Sprengisandur, and via valley Dyngjufjalladalur to valley Bardardalur.  A hiking train leads to the Braedrafell hut.
