What travelers say:

The town of Kirkjubjarklaustur (locally known as Klaustur Abbey) is a small town in the Skaftárhreppur district of southern Iceland with about 120 inhabitants. It is located on the roundabout road and about 250 km from the western capital Reykjavik, with fuel, shops, banks and supermarkets. Icelandic Kirkju means "church", bjar means village and town, klaustur means monastery. The suffix for Klaustur was added in 1186 AD and related to a nun at the time. The attractions here, including Systrastapi (Sister Stone), Systrafoss (Sister Waterfall) and Systravatn (Sister Lake), are also named after the nuns. Church town is a must-have for central Iceland. From here you can go to the Laki (Laki) crater in Vatnajökull (Watna National Park), or the scenic Landmannalaugar hiking line in the Fjallabak Nature Reserve. Not far east of the town, there is the natural Kirkjugólfi (church floor). The town is surrounded by volcanic lava tundra.
