Borgarfjörður

Borgarfjörður, a short, wide fjord and a 10 km long, grassy, fertile valley of the same name.

Magn­ificent, colourful moun­tains, especially Dyrfjöll and Staðarfjall, of rhyolite and basalt. Numerous rare and beautiful stones, minerals and plants are found there. The stones can’t be collected unless with a permission from landowners.

There is a good birdwatching hut on the beach by the pier. Most Icelandic birds with beach habitats can be observed from a hut.

Beautiful walking routes.
