A lovely Visit to Mt. Vestrahorn and Stokksnes in Southeast Iceland

A lovely Visit to Mt. Vestrahorn and Stokksnes in Southeast Iceland

On my 10-day trip around Iceland, I visited one of the most breathtaking locations in southeast Iceland, Mt. Vestrahorn and the Stokksnes peninsula, and stayed overnight at the Viking café. This is one of the must-stop locations when visiting this part of Iceland. Mt. Vestrahorn is one of the most photographed mountains in Iceland and I have seen some amazing photos of this beautiful mountain. Top photo: Mt. Vestrahorn Mt. Vestrahorn Iurie Belegurschi's photos of Mt. Vestrahorn are ever so beautiful, as is his whole collection of photos of Iceland. He has allowed me to use his photos for

A Visit to Herjólfstown - Herjólfur's Viking House in the Westman Islands

In Herjólfsdalur valley in the Westman Islands in South Iceland, you will find a turf and lava rock house that blends in perfectly with the landscape. It is a replica of Herjólfsbærinn - Herjólfur's old farmstead; a hypothetical farmstead of what might have been one of the oldest human habitation signs in my country Iceland. It is believed to be the first rock house in Iceland. Top photo: By Herjólfsbærinn town With the son of Ragnar Loðbrók, Ubbe, and King Haraldur hárfagri - the fairhair In spring 2023 a Viking exhibition opened in Herjólfsbærinn, which is a great addition to Herjólfs

The Westman Islands - the Settler, the Stave Church, and more interesting Things to see

In this travel-blog I want to tell you about a really interesting place to visit - Vestmannaeyjar - the volcanic Westman Islands in South Iceland. In a previous travel-blog, I told you about Kötlutangi pit, the southernmost point of the mainland of Iceland. The Westman Islands are even more south than Kötlutangi; the volcanic island is the southernmost point of Iceland. Top photo: Heimaklettur and the Westman Islands harbour The electric ferry Herjólfur sails to the Westman Islands Remember why these islands got the name Vestmannaeyjar - the Westman Islands? I told you that story in my

The beautiful Brúarfoss Waterfall - is this the bluest River in Iceland

In my last travel blog I showed you the massive waterfalls in the glacial river Jökulsá á Fjöllum. In this travel blog, I want to show you one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland, the powdery blue Brúarfoss waterfall which runs in the spring-fed river Brúará, which I like to call the bluest river in Iceland. Top photo: Brúarfoss waterfall Hlauptungufoss waterfall Hlauptungufoss waterfall Now, let's start the hike to the waterfall and hike for a while in Iceland's pristine nature on the east side of Brúará river. Along the way, you will see a couple of smaller waterfalls. The hik

Jökulsá á Fjöllum Glacial River and the magnificent Waterfalls in Jökulsárgljúfur Canyon

In this travel-blog I want to show you the massive glacial river Jökulsá á Fjöllum - the Glacial River in the Mountains, which is the second longest river in Iceland (206 km). Jökulsá á Fjöllum is a roaring, turbulent milky white/greyish glacial river coming straight from Vatnajökull, Iceland's largest glacier, or its glacier tongue Dyngjujökull to be exact. The best-known waterfall in Jökulsá á Fjöllum glacial river is the massive Dettifoss waterfall. Opening photo: Jökulsá á Fjöllum and Dettifoss Jökulsá á Fjöllum glacial river in the highland and Gljúfrasmiður waterfall I am going to

Summer Solstice and Midsummer Eve in Reykjavík

Summer Solstice and Midsummer Eve in Reykjavík

Summer solstice and Midsummer Eve are quite magical here in Iceland when the midnight sun barely sets and then rises again. In June this far up north the summer nights are bright and the day is endless. And on the longest day of the year, the 21st of June, the sun sets at midnight and then almost immediately rises again. Top photo: Summer Solstice at Viðey island Photographing the sunset from Laugarnestangi at 23:54 We Icelanders stay up late on this day and try to watch the midnight sunset. In 2023 we who live in Reykjavík were in luck as after a very long period of rain and gloomy weath

The warm Footbath of the Bakkabræður brothers in Svarfaðardalur Valley

High up on a hill in Svarfaðardalur valley in North Iceland a warm footbath is hidden away. It is the footbath of Bakkabræður, who were not-so-intelligent brothers who lived at Bakki in Svarfaðardalur. While staying in the beautiful Svarfaðardalur valley I hiked up to Fótlaug Bakkabræðra - the footbath of Bakkabræður, which is difficult to spot from the road if you don't know where to look for it. It was only on my second hike that I found the warm pool. Top photo: Footbathing in the footbath of Bakkabræður The large rock by the footbath and the last part of the path leading to the footbath

The beautiful Churches in Svarfaðardalur Valley in North Iceland

In the historical Svarfaðardalur valley in North Iceland, you will find 3 small and beautiful churches. And a narthex of an old church, which now serves as a chapel. In this travel-blog I am going to tell you a little about these churches. There is something so special about these churches in Svarfaðardalur valley, they are small timber churches built in the Svarfdælska structural type, which you cannot find anywhere else in Iceland. Top photo: Tjarnarkirkja church Vallakirkja church You can see a similar church in Öxnadalur valley (Bakkakirkja, which I also visited), Glæsibæjarkirkja c

The beautiful Svarfaðardalur Nature Reserve and Húsabakki in North Iceland

In several of my travel-blogs through the years I have shown you the valleys of Iceland, told you about historic sites that are often overlooked by visitors, and shown you what treasures these valleys keep. Svarfaðardalur valley in North Iceland is one such valley, which is well worth a visit, as here you will find beautiful little churches, one of the turf houses left in Iceland, Laug Bakkabræðra - the Pool of the Brothers at Bakki, the Svarfaðardalur Nature Reserve and much more.
