This guide is designed to help finding travel
services in the Westfjords.

Westfjords are paved roads. Nevertheless
there are gravel roads to be found
throughout the region. These roads are
maintained all summer long by the Icelandic
Road Administration and are kept in good
condition. Please note that some roads
are only open during summertime. For

Foreword
Each generation will harvest what the previous generation has sown.
It is important to remember these wise words when building up an
industry like that of tourism, as everything done in the process will
have an impact on the respective communities. The responsibility of
the tourism industry is great, and therefore we must bear the future
in mind, making sure that whatever plans we make will have as little
negative effects as possible on the environment as well as on the
communities.
Tourism is capable of leading the sustainability movement and indeed
has a responsibility to do so, not least as the industry itself negatively
affects the environment. Our guests travel thousands of kilometres
from all over the world, requiring a great deal of energy. All this so
they can enjoy the wonders of nature we are so lucky to experience
every day.
Sustainability is therefore the keyword we need to constantly bear in
mind, so the future generations will be able to enjoy the qualities we
have today.
Dear guests. On behalf of the Westfjords Tourism Association, I
welcome you to the Westfjords. I hope that you enjoy your stay in
the magnificent nature that our country has to offer, and experience
the culture we are brought up in. I ask of you that you join us in the
work towards a tourism that has minimal negative effects on the
environment, showing our country the same respect as we would like
to show it ourselves.
Have a nice trip and enjoy the Westfjords,
Sigurur Atlason
Chairman, Westfjords Tourism Association.

Westfjords Pop. 7.400
The Westfjords region has sometimes been dubbed the most famous
unknown place in Iceland. Well, throw in the prestigious European
Destination of Excellence awards and add to that the fact that the
Lonely Planet travel guide put the area on its top 10 list of regions in
the world to visit in 2011, and you will see that the Westfjords are
becoming increasingly famous or perhaps less unknown.
Lonely Planet, the respected travel guide publisher, placed the
Westfjords in its top 10 regions of the world to visit in 2011, saying that
the oddly shaped peninsula is as isolated as it is spectacular. Luckily,
isolated does not mean inaccessible. With only 7400 inhabitants in
the area, each person has around 1,2 km
2
of personal space, so there is
ample room for visitors as well.
Although the locals are great, it is, by and large, the nature that attracts
visitors. For understandable reasons as well: it is untouched and almost
uninhabited. The cliffs and valleys are packed with birds, the uninhabited
fjords offer a moment of silence and tranquillity, and the Arctic fox
proudly roams the mountains and inlets. The waterfalls are high and the
streams pure. The distances are long and the fjords are deep. And then
there are places where there are no roads at all.
The Westfjords are a great place to watch the Northern Lights (Aurora
Borealis) during the winter and equally fantastic to experience the
midnight sun during the summer.
Visiting the Westfjords is surely a different experience. It is Iceland, but
yet a different Iceland altogether.

THE WATERTRAIL
8
The WaterTrail
Pure - Wild - Wellness
The WaterTrail (Vatnavinir Vestfjara) leads you along tourist
destinations, with natural geothermal pools and hot springs. In
these places in the Westfjords, sustainable wellness tourism is being
developed. The WaterTrail is in the process of building new and
preserving old natural hot springs in rural locations with emphasis on
the therapeutic effects of thermal baths.
www.westfjords.is
9
The Westfjords have many hidden gems, among them plenty of natural
or partially man-made hot springs in remote locations. The abundance
of natural warm water and a rich history have created a unique outdoor
bathing culture in direct contact with nature. The origin of the bathing
pools is geothermal water that flows directly and constantly from the
ground. In summer our visitors can enjoy the romantic midnight sun
in the wilderness, and in winter lying in a warm pool watching the
northern lights is also an unforgettable experience. The perfect travel
adventure is when thermal bathing is integrated and enriched with
culture and outdoor activities in natural environment. Keep an eye on
us at www.watertrail.is.

Reykhlar
If you are interested in bird-watching, the small village of Reykhlar
is the perfect hub. The sea closest to shore is very shallow and with
a high tidal range. These conditions, combined with the marshes
and ponds found inland create a bountiful biota and a perfect
environment for a rich bird life.
In Reykhlar you can enjoy a new and unique exhibition, dedicated
to the various gifts of nature in the Breiafjrur area and their
utilization by farmers and fishermen. One of them is the eider
duck, providing the celebrated eiderdown, collected and refined
here for centuries. The traditional wooden boats built and used in
Breiafjrur Bay are also displayed here. In Grund near Reykhlar
you find antique tractors and in Seljanes there is a collection of
vintage cars.
The village is also famous for its kelp factory, the only factory in
Iceland that processes seaweed. The products are used in food,
animal fodder, fuel, fertilizers and for medicinal purposes, to name
just a few.

Patreksfjrur
The biggest town in the southern region of Westfjords is
Patreksfjrur and it is situated in a fjord bearing the same name.
The fjord got its name from its first settler, whose spiritual guide was
St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Somewhat fittingly it was in
this fjord that the first potatoes were cultivated in Iceland in the 18th
century. Early in the 20th century, Patreksfjrur was a pioneering
force in Icelands fishing industry, initiating trawler fishing. Still today
the chief occupation is commercial fishing and fish processing.
One of the more interesting tourist attractions in Patreksfjrur
is The Pirate House, a newly opened exhibition located in an old
smithy. It displays the stories of pirates that raided the Icelandic
shoreline in the 15th and 16th century, recreating the atmosphere
and experience of both the pirates and their victims.
Patrekfjrur is also a service centre for the southern region with a
hospital, bank, post office, pharmacy, swimming pool with excellent
sport facilities and various other services, such as restaurants, cafs,
craft galleries and gift shops. Just a few km outside town is an
excellent golf course as well as many challenging hiking trails.

Tlknafjrur
Tlknafjrur is a friendly village in the southern part of the
Westfjords, with a population of approximately 300. For centuries,
most of the locals made their living from fishing, and they still do
of course, but in order to diversify its economy, the town now
welcomes large groups of tourists every year, the biggest attraction
being sea angling.
In the northern part of the fjord, hot water springs from the earth.
This pure energy is used for fish farming and heating the swimming
pool. Bonuses to this geothermal activity are natural hot pools
located just outside the village. There is nothing better after a long
day on the road, than to glide down into the warm water and enjoy
the stunning beauty of the surrounding mountains. Various hiking
trails can be found on either side of the fjord, many of them old
riding paths, used to cross the surrounding mountains and heaths.

Bldudalur
Bldudalur is an beautiful little village that enjoys some of the best
summer weather in the Westfjords. Due to its position, the sea
breeze rarely reaches the town, making it an excellent place to hang
out on sunny days.
The largest industry in town is a sea mineral plant that processes
calcified red seaweed, harvested from the seabed, mainly used in
animal feed, hygiene and fertiliser products.
Although the population of this picturesque village is only about
200, music and culture have thrived there for decades. Therefore
it should be no surprise that there are two museums found in
the village. The Icelandic Sea Monster Museum opened in 2009,
offering an action-packed multimedia display of the local tales of sea
monsters, which have played a colourful role in Icelandic folk culture
for centuries. Melodies of the Past is a peculiar music museum in
town, exhibiting Icelandic musical memorabilia.

Flateyri
Flateyri has been a trading post since 1792 and saw its heyday in
the 19th century when it was home to a fleet of decked vessels and
the base for shark-hunting and whaling operations. With its fishing
industry grinding to a halt, Flateyri, like so many other fishing villages,
is dependent on tourism in the summer months; the majority of
visitors being sea anglers from Europe. Kayaking is also a popular
activity for tourists.
The old bookshop has been turned into a museum where the history
of the village is displayed. Visitors can also buy second hand books
and visit an old merchants home. An international doll museum can
also be found in Flateyri.
A small shop, bank, post office and a pub provide visitors with all
the basic services.
There is a nice sandy beach on the other side of the fjord, and
although the sea might be colder for bathing than most people
prefer, the sand is great for building sand castles.

The village has been a fishing port since settlement, so naturally the
most popular tourist attraction in Bolungarvk is the svr museum,
a fascinating replica of an old fishing outpost. There, the museum
curator greets visitors wearing a skin suit similar to the one Icelandic
fishermen wore in the 19th century. In addition there is a natural
history museum in town that hosts a large geological collection, also
an extensive bird and mammal collection, including a polar bear.
Another popular visiting point is the top of Bolafjall Mountain

area it is the centre of interest in the peninsula.
On the gravel spit that stands out into the fjord, small corrugated
houses line the streets. Having a wharf all around the spit is fitting,
as fish and seafaring has always been the name of the game. For
the tourist, safjrur has a range of services for all budgets and
tastes. An array of day tours, both in the wilderness and closer to
civilisation, are available, for hikers, paddlers and other outdoorsy
types of course, but also for those wanting a leisurely walk in a bird
colony or at a museum.
Trivia: all three roads out of town are through tunnels. Icelands oldest and
shortest tunnel connects to neighbouring Savk, the newest connects it
to Bolungarvk and the longest connects it to both Suureyri and Flateyri.

the entrepreneur who runs the local restaurant and one of the

Grmsey island, supposedly formed by a giant trying to dig the
Westfjords apart from the rest of Iceland, is the biggest attraction in

It does not come as a surprise that in this small hamlet, the camping

Ltrabjarg cliffs
The cliffs of all cliffs, Ltrabjarg, are home to birds in unfathomable
numbers. This westernmost point of Iceland (and Europe if the
Azores are not counted) is really a line of several cliffs, 14 kilometres
long and up to 441 km high. And its as steep as it gets, dizzyingly
so. Safe from foxes, the birds are fearless, and provide stunning
photographic opportunities from close range. Bird photography for
dummies, you might say. The puffins are particularly tame and are
the ones frequenting the grassy, higher part of the cliffs. But look out,
the edges are fragile and loose and the fall is high.
Ltrabjarg is thus deservedly the most visited tourist attraction in
the Westfjords. The cliffs are easily accessible by car and when
youre there, a walk along the cliffs awaits. The whirling sensation
will not fade, and neither will the memories.

end of the settlement, the path becomes even narrower and more
crooked, taking you through a dense population of birds, consisting
mainly of Arctic terns. Two families stay on the island throughout the
winter, but many more migrate during the summer, mainly for leisure
but also to serve tourists.
In a charming way, it feels very much like a movie set. And so it is.
Many movies are set on the island, most notably The Honour of
the House based on a short story by Nobel Prize winner Halldr
Laxness, White Night Wedding, a movie by Baltasar Kormkur and
Nonni og Manni. In fact, Baltasars father painted the unusual altar
piece in the islands church, making it worthy of a visit.
In summertime, a ferry goes to Flatey twice a day from
Stykkishlmur and Brjnslkur, and, albeit less frequently, a
passenger boat offers connection to Reykhlar.

Vigur Island
Puffins, eiders, guillemoths and arctic terns are this islands magnets,
and they are all abundant. Indeed, as the puffins, which nest in
burrows, have dug through much of the islands soil, travellers
have to follow a certain path to avoid falling into one. This small
bird, by some dubbed the penguin of the north, is a clumsy flier
but impresses visitors by artfully stacking its beak full of sand eel or
small fish, carrying it home to its hungry chicks. Being the opposite of
the hospitable humans that live on the island, the Arctic terns fight
to keep intruders away. Luckily, a stick held above the head does
the trick. Eiders and humans share a mutual beneficence; eiders get
protecion by nesting in close vicinity of the people, who collect the
precious down from the eider nests. One of the every day event is
when locals feed a group of orphan eider chicks. In Vigur you find
the smallest post office in Iceland, as well as the only windmill and
beautifully renewed houses. Since an end was put to milk production
on Vigur island, the inhabitants spend much of the winter preparing
the eider down, collected over the summer, for export.
To get to Vigur, there is a daily boat tour from safjrur.

Hornstrandir
This territory of the Arctic fox has been uninhabited since the 1950s.
As isolated as it was then, it attracts the casual half-day visitors and
serious gore-tex hikers alike. Its main attractions are three. First, the
bird cliffs surrounding the bay of Hornvk, are a magnet of gigantic
proportions. On the eastern side of the bay the cliff reaches a height
of more than 500 metres, and the birds are teeming. Second, as
there are no infrastructure and the tourists few in relation to the
sheer size of the area, the sense of remoteness is strong. You can
hike days on end without seeing a single person. The nature is pure
and the tranquillity unmatched. Third, as the area is a haven for the
Arctic fox (think hunting-ban and bird-packed cliffs), the chances of
spotting one are high.
Tours depart from safjrur, Bolungarvk and Norurfjrur.

rneshreppur
rneshreppur is one of the smallest communities in Iceland,
but comprises a large area. The inhabitants earn their income by
raising sheep, but in recent years, tourism has grown in importance.
Stunning landscape, proximity to the natural elements and rich fauna
are the areas main attractions. Additionally, the area and community
are steeped in history, such as of the Icelandic sagas, witch-hunts,
herring adventures and folklore. A boat connects Norurfjrur to
Hornstrandir, perfect for hikers and those who want to marvel the
area from the sea.
Tourism has in the last few years seen a remarkable upswing. Now,
travelers can camp in several places and choose from a variety of
other accommodation choices. Kaffi Norurfjrur (you guessed it,
kaffi is both caf and coffee) and Htel Djpavk offer an array of
local food. In Djpavk, a herring factory closed down in the 50s
has been honored by an exhibition about its history. At Krt, local
handcrafts and history are combined. Other services are available as
well, such as a grocery store, a filling station and a unique swimming

Reykhlar
The small village of Reykhlar is truly a paradise for bird-watchers.
Surrounded by the sea and coast on one hand; and wetland, meadow,
grassland, and cliffs on the other, Reykhlar is an ideal dwelling for
numerous species of birds. It is believed that up to 60 different species
can be spotted in the Reykhlar area during the summer time, including
the king of birds the white tailed eagle.
Reykhlar is located on a small peninsula on the northern shore of the
bay Breiafjrur. The bay has countless small islands and skerries
which are homes to a large population of sea birds. Some of the islands
also have natural, geothermal hot-pots where visitors are allowed to
bathe.
Visitors can enjoy the rich bird life of Reykhlar simply by walking
around the area. Boat tours to the islands of Breiafjrur depart from
just outside the village.

Hesteyri
A visit to Hesteyri is an unforgettable experience. There rests a
deserted village underneath mountain cliffs, fathomed by a wood of
angelicas. It is magical to stroll around the sand spit and enjoy the
unexpected wonders that pass before your eyes. The last inhabitants
moved from Hesteyri around 1950 but before that there was a
busy lifestyle due to the whaling station which was built in 1894. At
Hesteyri you can find historical ruins and unspoiled nature at its best
all year round.
At Hesteyri you can buy coffee, food and accommodations.
Scheduled boat trips go from safjrur (60 min) and Bolungarvk
(50 min). The boat trip is a great journey with an unusual sightseeing
of mountains and glaciers and a good chance of seeing whales rise
close up to the boat.

Heydalur
Heydalur is a 6 km long valley in Mjifjrur in safjarardjp. In
further days the story tells that 12 farmers were living in the valley.
The oldest ruins tell us that the valley has been an inhabited area
since before the year 1100.
Now there is only the farm hotel left in the middle of a beautiful
surrounding countryside with a river, waterfall, bushy hillsides,
mountains, fjords and the shore full of wildlife and flora.
On the other side of the river Heydals there is a hot spot from
ancient time. The story tells that the bishop Gudmundur the Good
blessed this hot spot in the 12th century and that many sick people
have been cured after a visit here.
At Heydalur you also find orginal outdoor hot pots, a swimmig pool
and a sauna where you may relax after the many possible outdoor
activities, such as riding, kayaking, hiking, and fishing, before a luxury
dinner of local food. Keep your eyes open you may even see our
fox running around.
Each season in Heydalur has a charm. The spring when you can
follow the green colour and the birds coming, the summer with the
bright nights full of life, the autumn with the beautiful colour and all
the blueberries, the winter with the northern lights and snow.

Rauasandur
Rauasandur, (Red Sand), is precisely that: a beach with endless red
sand. Well, not endless, but 10 km is a lot. The magnificent hues
of the sand differ with daylight and weather, and the beach is the
biggest pearl in a string of coves with sand ranging in colours from
white through yellow through red to black, and in coarseness from
very fine to sole-hurting chips of seashells. Just pure sand enlivened
by countless seabirds and seals, an oasis with unique tranquility.
Forget everything, except maybe getting the perfect shot of the
ever-changing hues of yellow, orange and red.
Heres just pure sand and unique tranquillity. You might want to step
out of the car, get the camera out and start walking on the seemingly
endless beach.

signature bird is the Puffin as the island has one of the most densive
Puffin colony in Iceland. There are some 31.000 nesting holes, home
to about 75.000 individuals. Among other birds that thrive on Grmsey
are Shag, Arctic Tern, Black Guillemot, Razorbill and Northern Fulmar
which all together with the Puffin create an extraordinary symphony
of birdlife.

Flkalundur in Vatnsfjrur
Nature Reserve
Iceland owes its name to Hrafna-Flki or Raven-Floki. After a long
navigation from Norway, he took land in Vatnsfjrur. Seeing the
surrounding Breiafjrur Bay full of ice, he announced that this
place should be called Iceland.
Lakes and ponds are numerous in the Nature reserve. Lake
Vatnsdalsvatn is the largest, with an area of two square kilometers.
Approximately 20 species of birds inhabit the nature reserve. Both
mice, Arctic foxes and mink roam the area but seals are easier to
spot, because they like to laze about sunbathing on the reefs by
Hrgsnes peninsula. There are numerous hiking trailes in the the
area and you can take a walk along the shores and enjoy a dip in the
memorable natural pool down by the sea.
There is a hotel at Flkalundur with a restaurant, gas-station,

Natural pools - The Water Trail
Among the hidden gems of the Westfjords are the natural hot
pools that can be found even in most remote places. This might
sound like a clich, but the pools are truly a well kept secret, taken
for granted, or even forgotten by locals. An explanation could be
that the Westfjords are not generally considered a hot spot in
Icelandic geology, so the geothermal activity is not as visible as it is
in the north or the south of the country. Therefore it is surprising to
find that nowhere in Iceland are there more natural bathing pools
than in the Westfjords, the reason being that the water is of perfect
temperature straight from the ground.
Some of the pools are situated right on the shoreline, with amazing
views towards the sea, creating a unique experience to be enjoyed
all year round.

Swimming pools
Public swimming pools can be found in almost every town and village
of the Westfjords. Opening hours are usually long, the entrance
cheap and more often than not there is a hot tub or two for those
who prefer relaxing to swimming. Natural pools can also be found
all over in the region, most of them free of charge.
A strict etiquette applies in the public pools of Iceland. Guests are
required to wash thoroughly without swimsuits before and after
entering the swimming pools. These rules can usually be bent when
bathing in the natural pools though, as these often lack both changing
rooms and showers.

History
Fish and sheep. If only given a space of three words, these would be
near the top. Luckily, 1100 years of history can usually be given a little
bit more space than three words. The most visited history attractions
are 15 minutes apart, two museums that approach the maritime
history from two different angles. svr in the village of Bolungarvk,
is one. There, the sheep-skin clad guide shows you around the huts
where fishermen lived for thousand years. The maritime museum in
safjrur fills up the holes in the history, showing how the fish was
processed and what was done with it after the processing.
At the Arctic Fox Centre in Savk, you will learn about the 1100
year story of legal foxhunting in Iceland and get into the world of the
legendary foxhunters of the past.
Another museum of interest is The Museum of Icelandic Sorcery
and Witchcraft. The museum is in two parts, one located in
Hlmavk and one 25 km away in Bjarnarfjrur. Other museums
of historical interest include Hnjtur and Hrafnseyri, where a hero of
independence, Jn Sigursson (the gentleman on the ISK 500 bill), is
commemorated and the Sea Monster Museum in Bldudalur.

Coast
A fun fact: a third of Icelands coast line is in the Westfjords. Come
to think of it, it is not surprising, as the entire peninsula is carved and
cut by long fjords. The shore offers a wealth of attractions, most of
which cost nothing to enjoy.
We have already told you about Rauasandur, that red sandy beach
which is not famous for its bathing facilities, but its colour. We
have also told you about the bird cliffs at Ltrabjarg and way up
north in Hornstrandir. Which reminds us, the bird life at the coast
is rich, to say the least. We could drop a lot of bird names, such as
oystercatchers, harlequin ducks, and white-tailed eagles, but the bird
enthusiast would do well in picking up further information there, just
take our word for the variety . In most areas, you can expect to see
seals, resting on stones or just peering curiously towards land. In the
deep fjords, whales can often be seen, blowing and diving. So be
aware, the wildlife is all around you, if you only pay attention.
Many fjords, islands and inlets are uninhabited and unspoiled, so you
have it all for yourself. The silence is unmatched.

Culture
Many aspects of culture are intangible; it is how people behave and
how society is organised. However, it has its concrete manifestations
as well. The best bet for a first stop is a museum. They are scattered
all over the peninsula, covering areas such as pirates (Patreksfjrur),
sea monsters (Bldudalur), sorcery and witchcraft (Hlmavk), and
foxes (Savk). Want more? Old tools from fishermen (in safjrur
and Bolungarvk), sheep farming museum (near Hlmavk) and old
tractors (near Reykhlar) all have their dedicated museums.
Also of big interest are the local handicrafts traditions that flourish in
every fjord and valley. Almost all villages have their energetic bunch,
knitting and crocheting and selling to interested tourists. Some
interesting innovations can be found, especially those based on the
patterns used for Icelandic wool sweaters.
And then there is the intangible aspect. Keep your eyes open for
village feasts, held all over all through the summer. Strike up a
conversation about the weather with the one next to you in the
hot-dog line and there you go: local culture in one of its many
manifestations.

Hiking
When hiking in the Westfjords, there is always a tendency to hike
between two fjords. Understandably; if you look at the map, there
is most often a pass or two between any fjords and the feeling of
looking down the other side of the mountain is one to savour.
One of the most popular area for hiking is without a doubt
Hornstrandir Nature Reserve. The reserve is ideal for longer hikes,
and there are day tours available from safjrur as well. However, its
biggest advantage is also its disadvantage, which is the inaccessibility
and lack of service.
The rest of the Westfjords are just as stunning, for example
Ltrabjarg, the biggest birdcliff in Europe, and Rauasandur.
At the nearest information centre, make sure to pick up a hiking
map for the area you want to visit. The maps, seven in total, cover
between them the whole peninsula.

Horseback riding
One of the great adventures you can take part in when visiting Iceland
is riding the small and hardy Icelandic horses, known for their strong
character and bred to survive through cold and starvation. Trotting
along a sandy beach or through a wooded valley is an unforgettable
experience and gives you a different view of the surrounding nature.
Inexperienced riders need not worry, the horses are calm.
Why not combine the horse riding with some fishing? In Heydalur
you can ride the horses up the valley to a heath where you can try
your luck at catching trout in Lake Ausuvatn. There are also horse
rentals in rlygshfn, ingeyri and Hlmavk.

Fishing
Iceland boasts of one of the worlds few sustainable fisheries,
catching fish both on big trawlers and small boats. A good addition
to the commercial fishing is that around 2000 anglers come annually
to villages in the peninsula to try to catch the big one. And big they
are. In 2007, a halibut of 175 kg (385 lbs) was caught on a fishing
rod near Suureyri, and in 2010 one of whopping 220 kg (485 lbs)
was caught.
Those more inclined to sweet water fishing, can find many rivers and
lakes around the peninsula to catch Arctic char and salmon although
the best salmon rivers are usually fully booked, there are plenty of
drop-in places to catch char.
