Bjarnarfoss

Bjarnarfoss is a beautiful waterfall that falls from a basalt rock created by the nearby Mulifell volcano. Further, the water goes down, flows through the Bukharaun lava fields, and reaches the ocean. From the parking spot, we can follow the trail to the small bridge above the stream flowing down to enjoy the view of the waterfall and the surrounding area.

Budir

The black church of Budir Hamlet has become a popular subject for photographers, and for a good reason. The small freestanding church is a beautiful and minimalist facility nestled in the rugged nature of Iceland. From the church, we shall walk towards the coast to see beaches of yellow sand and black lava rocks left after the eruptions in the post-glacial period.

Arnarstapi

Arnarstapi is a small, charming fishing village on the southern edge of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. This place is known for its tiny harbor and many seabirds in the summer. From the harbor, there is a trail along the coast to Gatklettur (arched cliff), along which we advise you to walk to enjoy the beautiful local sceneries.

Londrangar Basalt Cliffs

Londrangar consists of two large stone columns, 75 and 61 meters (230 and 200 ft) high, towering over the surrounding area on the shore near the village of Hellnar. These towers are believed to be ancient volcanic plugs that have resisted the forces of nature for millennia. They withstood wind, ocean forces, and even eruptions that displaced more lava around them thousands of years ago. Londrangar is located on the south side at the foot of the Snaefellsjökull volcano. There is a path leading from the parking lot to the coast, which we will follow to enjoy breathtaking views of the cliffs, the ocean coast, and the colonies of seabirds that live here in the summer.

Djupalonssandur Beach

Djupalonsandur is a beach and cove at the foot of the Snaefellsjökull volcano. Once it was home to up to sixty fishing boats and one of the most productive fishing stations on the peninsula, but today, the bay is uninhabited. From the parking lot to the beach, the trail runs through a lava field with a mystical appearance and the shape of solidified lava debris. On the beach, we find many large and small round stones, and you can hear the rustling of pebbles rolled by the sea waves. You'll also find the remains of the fishing trawler Grimsby Epine, which sank in 1948, on the beach.
