Everyone who is familiar with Iceland knows that the west fjords are the perfect destination for those loving the nature. Nowhere on the island the holidaymaker will find so much peace and calmness like in West Iceland.
Reykjavik is the origin for a round trip. Passing the whaleford the journey leads to the hot springs Deildartunguhver and to the lava water falls Barnafoss and Hraunfossar. The green landscape with volcanic hills is minting the area. The glacier Snaefellsjökil and the magnificent white sand beaches are the attraction of the peninsula Snaefellsnes. Additionally you will find wild rock cliffs with breeding colonies of seabirds. The peninsula is a bit mysterious for many people.

The West fjords of Iceland are the epitome of loneliness. The most Western part of Iceland is Látrabjarg. Here you can watch the puffins near by. Mighty plateaus of basalt are alongside the seashore to the North. You will see some farms nearby. At Arnarfjördurs the Dynjandifoss murmurs down the rocks.
The scenery in the nature preserve Hornstrandir impresses with glacier valleys, sandy beaches and steep rock formations. Here you find the pied oystercatchers, plovers and whimbrels. The attraction of the peninsula of Vatnsnes is its unique colony of seals. Additionally the rocks Hvisterkur with their form of humps can be admired.

The hospitality in Iceland is overwhelming. Everyone is welcomed here.
