Dynjandi (Fjallfoss)

Dynjandi (also known as Fjallfoss) is the largest waterfall in the Westfjords region of Iceland and is considered to be one of the most impressive waterfalls in all of Iceland. The waterfall in made up of 7 waterfalls, each with its own name, one of which is Dynjandi. Dynjandi means “thunderous”. The total height of the waterfalls is about 100 m.

The best view of these spectacular waterfalls is from the car park, from where you can view the main falls, at the top, and the various cascades below them. If you are fit and sure of foot, you can climb alongside the stream to stand below the main falls, a sheet of water 60 meters wide falling 100 meters over a horizontally stratified rock face, mimicking a leaping chessboard made of water; quite remarkable, and a sight you will never, ever forget.

If you love books and want to learn more about Iceland’s history visit Flateyri and the Old Bookstore! Wonderful! You can see the family home which is a “living museum” for a small fee and buy new and secondhand books in the bookstore. The secondhand books are priced by weight! We enjoyed our visit! Takk fyrir!

Dokkan Brugghus

Our micro brewery is a small family business founded in Isafjorður in Octorber 2017 merely for the purpose to make local craft beer and the Westfjords really needed one. Then our first beer was made in the early summer of 2018. The brewery is located at Sindragata 11 but that’s were all of our products are made.

Raudasandur Beach

Reviewed By Haloof - Province of Bergamo, Italy

You have to drive for a lot on a gravel road to get there but it absolutely worth it! If you go with the low tide ( check on the internet when it is )you can see great shapes on the sand created from the water and the mountains reflected on the ground. The beach is so big that you feel so tiny! It was a sunny day with 20 celsius degrees: blue sky ,mustard sand and brown mountains,it was like a desert! More over we have seen 2 minkie whales from the beach , great experience ! There is a campsite overlooking the beach
