The beautiful Waterfall Foss á Síðu and the Dwarfs in Dverghamrar Cliffs in South-Iceland

The beautiful Waterfall Foss á Síðu and the Dwarfs in Dverghamrar Cliffs in South-Iceland

Foss á Síðu or Foss at Síða - "foss" meaning waterfall - is a beautiful waterfall by ring-road 1, only some 10 kilometres east of Kirkjubæjarklaustur in South-Iceland.  The waterfall, which cascades down from a lake called Þórutjörn, is not large like so many other waterfalls here in Iceland, but there is something special about it and the rock formations surrounding it. The rock formations look like something out of a fairy-tale :) Foss á Síðu So it is well worth a visit while driving in this area, especially as it is so accessible from the road. Earlier I could visit it and walk str

The Historic Kirkjubæjarklaustur, Systrafoss & Systrastapi in South-Iceland

In this travel-blog I want to show you Kirkjubæjarklaustur - a village in South-Iceland by ring-road 1, the first village you encounter after driving through the vast glacial outwash of Mýrdalssandur. It is a lovely little village rich in history. The name of the village, Kirkjubæjarklaustur, is this long as it is actually 3 words linked together - kirkju = church, bæjar = the genitive of a farm or a village, and klaustur = convent. We Icelanders usually refer to Kirkjubæjarklaustur as Klaustur for short. Top photo: Systrafoss waterfall Byrði sögunnar - the Burden of History, by Magnús

A Visit to the historic Skálholt Episcopal See in South Iceland

In my last travel-blog, I wrote about Hólar in Hjaltadalur in North Iceland, which from 1106-1801 was one of 2 episcopal sees in Iceland - the Northern seat of the bishops and the educational capital of the north. The other episcopal see, which I am going to show you in this travel-blog, was at Skálholt in South Iceland, which is one of Iceland's most historic places and to us Icelanders a holy place, at least that is how I feel about Skálholt.

The historic Hólar in Hjaltadalur, the Episcopal See and Nýibær Turf House in North-Iceland

In this travel-blog I am going to show you Hólar in Hjaltadalur, which is one of my favourite places in Iceland. Hólar is such a special place in Iceland and one of the best-known historic sites here. It is very dear to us Icelanders. A sign in Hjaltadalur leading to Hólar To me, it is one of the most special places in Iceland and I always stay here when travelling in this area. It always warms my heart when I see Hólar appearing when driving in Hjaltadalur valley. My first photo was taken on an August night when Hólar was bathed in the midnight sun.

Borgarvirki Fortress in North-West Iceland - was this a Viking Fortress?

Borgarvirki Fortress in North-West Iceland - was this a Viking Fortress?

Borgarvirki - the Citadel is a columnar basalt fortress and a volcanic plug on the Vatnsnes peninsula in northwest Iceland. It is 10-15 m high and 177 meters above sea level. It might have been used as an old Viking fortress, at least some legends claim that it was, but we don't know this for sure.  Top photo: The information sign by Borgarvirki Inside Borgarvirki I go with the notion that it is a Viking fortress, but that is only because I love to find Viking stuff in my country ;) Steps lead up to the top of Borgarvirki. It is very rocky here, and a lot of rocks have fallen from th

The majestic Hvítserkur Sea Stack - the Troll of North-West Iceland

On Vatnsnes peninsula in North-West Iceland, some 50 meters offshore stands the majestic Hvítserkur, a 15-meter tall monolith or sea-stack, an eroded volcanic dyke. It looks like an animal of some sort, an elephant or a rhino; or even a dinosaur drinking. Top photo: Hvítserkur It is quite spectacular and well worth a visit. Especially in the summertime, when you will find a lot of fulmar nesting on it, so it seems to be alive. It is half-white from their guano, thus the name Hvítserkur; "hvít-" = white and "-serkur" = a long shirt. I just love monoliths like this one, and it is a big

Rauðasandur Beach & Sjöundá in the Westfjords of Iceland - Red Sands & a Crime Scene

Rauðasandur Beach & Sjöundá in the Westfjords of Iceland - Red Sands & a Crime Scene

Rauðasandur beach or Red Sands beach, is a beautiful red beach in a very remote area in the Westfjords of Iceland. Most beaches in Iceland are black, but the beaches in the Westfjords are golden or pink.  Rauðasandur is of reddish colour, and the name of the beach is most likely derived from the colour of the sand. The sand, in turn, gets its colour from pulverized scallop shells. But the name can also derive from the settler in this area, Ármóður rauði Þorbjarnarson, or Ármóður the Red. Top photo: Rauðasandur by Sjöundá At Rauðasandur You might also notice that the beach is either ca

Látrabjarg in the Westfjords of Iceland - the largest Seabird Cliff in Iceland - Puffins in Abundance

Látrabjarg bird-cliff in the Westfjords of Iceland is the largest seabird cliff in Iceland and one of Europe's biggest seabird cliffs. Látrabjarg is also one of the westernmost parts of Europe (24°32'´3" west). The Bjargtangar part of Látrabjarg is often called the westernmost point if you skip the mid-Atlantic archipelago of Azores. Látrabjarg is over 440 meters high and 14 km long.  Top photo: a puffin at Látrabjarg The lighthouse at Látrabjarg is the westernmost lighthouse in Europe. Látrabjarg is considered to be one of the most spectacular seabird cliffs in the world and the bird

Hot Pools in the Westfjords of Iceland - a Selection of the Natural Pools I have visited

We Icelanders love dipping into natural hot pools, to me nothing beats the feeling of soaking in a hot pool in the middle of beautiful nature :) In this travel-blog I am going to show you the many natural geothermal pools in the Westfjords of Iceland. I have visited most of them on my visits through the years to the Westfjords.  Top photo: Hellulaug hot pool Hellulaug pool Dipping into Hellulaug pool with nude tourists Hellulaug pool is a geothermal pool on Barðaströnd, the southern part of the Westfjord region. It is located right on the beach. It is lovely sitting there with the view
