Very good weather when starting from Látrabjarg towards Heydalur in the northern part of the Westfjords. We take the route at the western coast via Dynjandi waterfall and Ísafjörður. Terrific panoramic views nearly throughout the whole drive. [singlepic id=5897 w=500 h=500 float=center] After 2 hours we reach the Dynjandi. Heard that it is not that crowded as other […]

Not as cold as yesterday and seems like the wind is getting less. First point to visit is Rauðisandur where a golden to red beach with 10 km length is located.

On to Hellnar seeing the wonderful cave of lava in the water, the Baðstofa. After a short walk we are driving back […]

Arriving at Glanni after […]

It’s just a 3 hour 15 minutes flight from Hamburg to Keflavik. The flight was slightly late and the baggage reclaim took very long before the luggage was on the conveyor but finally we got it. The guy from the rental car company picked us up and we went to his office to pickup the Suzuki Grand […]
