Urriðafoss waterfall

Iceland’s greatest waterfall in water quantity.

 

Tré og List

A charming museum of wood and art craftsmanship, full of wonderful pieces made by the local farmer.

 

Strandakirkja – Rural Church

A stone throw from the beach, where the bitterly cold sea meets harsh volcanic rocks and black sand. 

Krísuvíkurbjarg

Stunning black cliffs. Here, thousands of sea birds nest. You can hike along the trail to the edge of the cliffs where it’s possible to spot Kittiwakes, puffins, peewits, guillemots, razorbills, and other birds as they dive into the sea. The great stretch of cliffs at Krýsuvíkurbjarg are amongst the best bird-watching sites in Iceland; in summer, 60,000 residents nest within the sheer face. 

Krísuvík

Geothermal area where you can take a walk between the boiling mud puddles and smell the solfatares. 

Kleifarvatn

Nestled below a steep mountain, the seemingly deserted space is an attractive spot for a quiet walk over small black lava rocks.
