Tips

Annette

The Reynisfara is an extraordinary beach of black lava sand and lava, as well as an impressive as well as highly dangerous surf. Again and again, giant waves seize careless beachgoers and due to the strong current there is no help. Only in January 2017 there is again a German tourist accident. Therefore, despite all the beauty of the beach, keep an eye on the surf and keep a safe distance from the water. Especially in winter, the sea seems to reach all the way to the basalt cave and basalt columns. Then you have to be especially careful.

These basalt needles in the Atlantic are of volcanic origin.

This basal cave can only be reached at low tide. Otherwise there is danger to life.
