Westfjords

Westfjords

Located on the northwest of Iceland, Westfjörds is the least populated administrative region in Iceland that deserves a trip on its own. It may look small on the map, but the windy roads that hug the fjörds and its wilderness are reasons why you would want to take the time to travel here. 

Its crown jewel, Dynjandi, is an impressive cascade of 7 waterfalls, with the biggest waterfall Dynjandi itself measuring an impressive width of 30 meters on top and 60 meters on the bottom. 

Latrabjarg (Látrabjarg) cliff, the westernmost point of Iceland, is home to countless birds including the adorable Atlantic Puffin. 

Hornstrandir, a nature reserve that has been uninhibited since the 1950s, provides a sanctuary for the elusive arctic fox and a paradise for avid hikers ready to explore and appreciate its austere landscape. The absence of infrastructure and motor transport creates a strong sense of remoteness. So you can experience pure nature and tranquility.
