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

Snæfellsjökull National Park 10 km away (air distance)

The mountain is believed to have been an important place in Icelandic folklore, and Jules Verne used it as the entrance to the underworld in his novel Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Many people also associate it with mystical energy. The national park was established in 2001, and the glacier has shrunk considerably in recent decades.

Djúpalónssandur Beach 18 km away (air distance)

Fishermen once gathered here, and these stones were used to test the strength of men who wanted to join a fishing boat's crew. The rusted remains on the beach are from the British trawler Epine, wrecked here in 1948. The smooth black pebbles, called "Djúpalón pearls", are protected, so leave them in place.

Kirkjufell 19 km away (air distance)

The mountain is about 460 metres high and was shaped by glaciers during the ice age. It became even more famous after appearing in the television series Game of Thrones, and it is now among the most photographed landmarks in Iceland. The nearby town of Grundarfjörður is a good base for exploring Snæfellsnes.
