Westfjords means word for word the Westfjords. The region is thus divided by dozens of these ancient glacial valleys, allowing the adventurous to hike or climb. You can explore the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve to enjoy a unique experience through massifs, cliffs and more.
In Westfjords, the roads embrace the mountains, offering picturesque scenery every step of the way. An enchanting site to see absolutely in the region is the fascinating Dynjandi waterfall, whose height reaches a hundred meters.
At the end of a day of raiding, treat yourself to a moment of relaxation in one of the hot springs in the area. There are several, but if you're visiting the southwest of the area, consider the natural pool in Reykjafjarðarlaug. As far as you are walking around Flókalundur, the Hellulaug hot spring is nearby.
Contemplating the birds on the cliffs of Látrabjarg, the seals, or the whales in the waters that border the region is also an activity to be preferred.
And be sure to inspect the city of Ísafjörður, the capital of the Westfjords. You will surely fall under the spell of the oldest wooden houses, built in 1734. For an afternoon off, relax in front of the calm waters of Isafjardardjup. You can also go kayaking here. ◄
