    • Dynjandi Walking Trail, Iceland

      Explore Dynjandi

      5.0
      The most difficult part about this is getting to the falls - the road is closed during the winter (or at least shouldn't be driven on), and is has quite a few potholes on the way. That being said, it's actually a really cool drive as well across a pretty unique landscape of lava fields. I think t...

      Photogarph the Iconic Sheep Barn in the Westfjords

      5.0
      Strangely enough I had seen this little barn in a ton of pictures before going to the Westfjords. I just thought it was a spot that all famous photographers knew about because I couldn't find anything on it when I tried to research it. Of course we drove right past it on our way up to Bíldudalur....

      From the parking area which is adjacent to where the Ferry Baldur loading area is, walk up the hill and shortly after you'll see the brightly-colored lighthouse.  It gets very windy here and there are birds everywhere.  From the lighthouse you can look out over some islands between the Snæfellsne...

      Whether or not you choose to take the ferry from Stykk to Flókalundur, or make the entire drive along the south side of the West Fjords, you'll be taking the 612 to Látrabjarg. It's a mix of pavement and mostly gravel with typical Icelandic potholes. Even though it'd be a dream to take a 4x4 out ...

      You can park your car on the south side of Snæfellsnesvegur (road 51) and basically make a straight shot to the base of the mountain from there. You'll cross some boggy/marshy land, but should be able to find enough dry spots to hop across. The trail isn't always well defined as you walk up scree...
