- Isafjordur - Nestled among majestic mountains and set within a picturesque fjord, Ísafjörður serves as the cultural and historical center of the Westfjords. This delightful fishing town, with a history spanning centuries, boasts some of Iceland’s oldest timber structures, remnants from its era as a Danish trading post.
A leisurely walk reveals inviting cafés, unique local shops, and the harbor area, where the Westfjords Heritage Museum offers insights into life in this secluded region. With its rich history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking natural scenery, Ísafjörður provides an ideal introduction to the wild and welcoming Westfjords.
- Dynjandi (Fjallfoss) - Often hailed as the region’s most stunning waterfall, Dynjandi is a magnificent cascade that spreads out like a bridal veil down a cliff. The main waterfall plunges 100 meters, accompanied by several smaller falls that can be seen on a short yet rewarding hike. Surrounded by pristine, untouched nature, Dynjandi is a must-see for photographers and nature enthusiasts—majestic, remote, and unforgettable.
- Flateyri - Situated between towering mountains and the tranquil waters of Önundarfjörður, Flateyri is a serene fishing village with a rich heritage and quiet charm. Once a center for whaling and shark fishing, it is now celebrated for its vibrant homes, stunning vistas, and strong community spirit.
A stroll through the village showcases its resilience—highlighted by the substantial avalanche barrier constructed after a devastating slide in 1995. Visitors often explore the quirky Nonsense Museum or the inviting secondhand bookstore café, but even a simple walk along the harbor provides a glimpse of small-town Iceland at its most authentic.
- Holtsbryggja - Located along the shores of Önundarfjörður, Holtsbryggja is a tranquil pier near the historic settlement of Holt, offering expansive views of serene waters and steep mountains. It is not only scenic but also a bird sanctuary, hosting nesting eider ducks, arctic terns, and black-headed gulls during the summer.
The atmosphere is peaceful and contemplative, ideal for a brief walk, capturing a few photos, or simply enjoying the sounds of wind and wings. On calm days, the water reflects the sky, and seals may be seen gliding along the shoreline. A serene, untamed corner of the Westfjords.
