We start the Dynjandi waterfall from Isafjordur tour by driving straight to Dynjandi via the new tunnel at the bottom of Dyrafjordur. The tunnel exits in the Dynjandisvogur creek of Arnarfjordur, after which the waterfall is named.

Actually a series of seven waterfalls falling like a bridal veil from the edge of a cliff, Dynjandi is breathtaking. The river originates from the Eyjavatn lake in the Glama moors, which was considered a glacier until the late 19th century.

We stop for an hour so you can enjoy the waterfall and scenic landscape. If you like, you can take a short hike for a closer look at the top tier and spectacular views of the fjord and surrounding mountains.

At 30 km long, Arnarfjordur is one of the longest fjords in Iceland and is known in folklore for being home to sea monsters. There is a museum dedicated to these mysterious creatures at Bildudalur, a town on the far side of the fjord.

We then visit Hrafnseyri, the historical home of Hrafn Sveinbjarnason, a legendary chieftain spoken of in the <a href="”https://www.islit.is/en/promotion-and-translations/icelandic-literature/the-edda-and-the-sagas-of-the-icelanders/”">Sagas of the Icelanders</a>, but today even better known as the birthplace of Jon Sigurdsson. Jon was the leader of the Icelandic independence movement and a founding father of the country, and his birthday is celebrated as the National Day.

Dyrafjordur ist reich an Flora, Fauna, Geschichte und geologischen Wundern und beherbergt die Stadt Thingeyri, eine der ältesten Siedlungen der Westfjorde. Hier wurde die regionale Wikingerversammlung (oder "Ding") abgehalten und der erste Handelsposten der Westfjorde eingerichtet.
The Haukadalur farmstead beyond the town is the setting for many events in The Saga of Gisli, a classic outlaw Saga from the 9th and 10th century.

Die Gebirgskette zwischen Dyrafjordur und Arnarfjordur wird als Westfjordalpen bezeichnet, und wir werden kurz anhalten, um die beeindruckende Aussicht auf Berge und Fjord zu genießen.
