Lóndrangar Rejseguide
The Lóndrangar basalt cliffs are amongst the many geological wonders of the Snæfellnes peninsula.
Explore a wide range of Snaefellsnes peninsula tours.
Geology of Lóndrangar
Once a volcanic crater, all that remains after aeons of ocean battering are two great pillars upon a cliff, one 75 metres (246 ft) high and the other 61 metres (200 ft).
Their dramatic scale has earned this incredible formation the nickname ‘the rocky castle.’
The cliffs can be accessed easily from the Visitor’s Centre, through fields of mossy lava, but they can also be seen from the sea. Surfing is relatively popular in the area and doing so in the shadows of these great peaks only adds to the experience.
Folklore of Lóndrangar
The surrounding lands are steeped in folklore; farmers have never made use of the fields around the Lóndrangar basalt cliffs due to the elves that are rumoured to live there.
Nearby, at Þúfubjarg, another cliff on the Snӕfellsnes Peninsula, it was said that the poet Kolbeinn Jöklaskáld met the devil and struck a deal with him.
