Viðvíkursveit is a district in Skagafjörður, Iceland east of the Héraðsvötn, on the border of Akrahreppur along the Kyrfisá river[1] 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.[2] 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.
