The Akureyri Touring Association (ATA) Mountain huts Dreki is located at the southern foot of the mountain massif Dyngjufjoll at the mouth of a synonymous gorge, Drekagil. The oldest hut was built 1968-1969 and the newer 2003-2004. The huts stand approximately 780 m. over sea level and accommodate about 50 people. During summer the huts are attended by a warden.

A camping site is near the huts. A track for 4wd vehicles connects the huts with the ringroad (#1) via Herdubreidarlindir and continues to Mts Kverkfjoll, via the Gaesavotn Route to Sprengisandur, and via valley Dyngjufjalladalur to valley Bardardalur. A hiking train leads to the Braedrafell hut. After the establishment of Europe’s largest national park, Vatnajokull, on June 7th, 2008, Drekagil became one of the centres for the NP wardens.
