Notable places within about 40 km — shown as straight-line (air) distance, not travel distance

Seyðisfjörður Blue Church and Rainbow Street 18 km away (air distance)

The town grew in the 19th century as a herring fishing centre and as a base for Norwegian settlers, and many of its wooden buildings date from that period. Today it is known as an art town, with a school and cultural festival. During the Second World War, a British ship was sunk in the fjord, and its remains rest on the seabed.

Hengifoss 29 km away (air distance)

The hike to the falls takes roughly an hour each way along a marked trail that climbs steadily. On the way you pass Litlanesfoss, a smaller waterfall surrounded by neat basalt columns. Wear sturdy shoes, bring water and layers, and start early on a clear day. A visitor area and café sit near the start.

Hallormsstaður Forest 30 km away (air distance)

Hallormsstaður is Iceland's largest forest, a surprising stretch of tall trees in a country where woodland is rare. Trails lead beneath birch, larch and spruce, with glimpses of the long lake Lagarfljót through the trunks. It is a green, scented and peaceful place to walk, especially in summer and autumn when the leaves change colour.
