Touring Association Utivist restored a decayed farmers' sheep roundup shelter in 1996-97.  Its surroundings are breathtakingly beautiful.  Large lava outcrops and the vegetation remind of a park.  A short walk takes you to Holaskjol, but one day's hikes include Mt Uxatindar and Mt Gjatindur.

A rather difficult 4wd track continues to the hut from the track to Mt Gjatindur.  The hut offers mattresses and a gas-stove, but no other utensils.  It is heated with oil, but is not insulated, and therefore not meant for winter use.  It houses 16 persons.
