Description
Take in the scenery of Seydisfjordur Fjord on this moderate guided hike in the hills above the fjord, with stories about the history of the area.
Your tour begins when you meet your guide and the rest of the hiking group in Seydisfjordur Town.
When everyone is ready, you start the hike into the hills above Seydisfjordur Fjord.
Seydisfjordur Fjord lies in the Eastfjords region of Iceland, surrounded by towering mountains and waterfalls, with deep blue water and green hillsides rising steeply from its shores.
As you climb into the hills, you have panoramic views of the fjord and the mountains, with plenty of chances for photos.
One of the highlights of the hike is learning about the geological and cultural history of the area. Your guide tells you about the landslides in Seydisfjordur Town in 2020, which led to the evacuation of the whole town just days before Christmas.
You learn how these natural forces have shaped the landscape and the lives of the people who live here.
Along the hillsides, you see wildflowers, grazing sheep, and waterfalls, with views over this corner of the Eastfjords.
Near the end of the hike, you reach the sound sculpture Tvisongur, created by the German artist Lukas Kuhne. It consists of five connected concrete domes, each designed to resonate with the natural sounds of the surrounding landscape.
Take some time to explore the sculpture before heading back down to Seydisfjordur Town.
Your tour ends in Seydisfjordur Town, where you can continue your travels or spend more time discovering the area.
