Þverárrétt — Sheep Round-Up in Vesturhóp

Þverárrétt is a traditional sheep round-up location in Vesturhóp in the municipality of Húnaþing vestra, Northwest Iceland. In the Icelandic réttir tradition, farmers gather sheep in autumn after summer grazing, and sorting takes place at communal pens. The municipality's published réttir notice for 2019 explicitly listed Þverárrétt in Vesturhóp. That historical listing is not a schedule for 2026: before planning a visit, verify the current date and arrangements with Húnaþing vestra. The mapped locality is near Vesturhópsvatn (about 65.49742° N, 20.69648° W). It is a cultural landscape feature rather than a bookable attraction or guaranteed public event; respect any restricted access, working farmers, livestock and nearby private property.
