Icelandic lifting stone locations
Are you planning a trip to the Icelandic lifting stones? Want to know where exactly the Dritvík Stones and the Húsafell stone are? Look no further. The Icelandic stone directory will take you directly to the stone’s location on the liftingstones.org map.
In the past people located stones by getting directions from other people who knew where they were. Now that maps and GPS are easily accessible, I’ve gathered information from the community and put together an interactive map containing each stone that I know of!
First, before you go out and lift any of these stones, make sure you’re familiar with stonelifting etiquette.
Here’s the directory of lifting stones in Iceland at 8 different sites. Click on the name of the stone to take you to the location on the liftingstones.org map. Alternatively, if you just want to explore all of the stones – go straight to the map.

Is liftingstones.org missing any stones? Let me know by getting in touch!
One of the main goals of the liftingstones.org project is to create and maintain a directory of all the stones people want to lift – including the locations of each stone.
Using the directory and map, it’s easier than ever to find each stone and plan your trip to each lifting site!
Each time I add a new stone to the map, the directory updates too!
