20의 베스투르비그드가지 명소 & 주요 장소

One of Iceland's last turf churches (1858), tucked away in the Eyjafjörður Valley. Its turf-covered roof seems to blend into the landscape, recalling how Icelanders lived and sheltered in times past. Inside, the dark wood and an altar painted by Ásgrímur Jónsson convey calm and tradition. Small, humble, and unique: a living piece of Icelandic rural history.

Rauðisandur Beach is a magical red sand beach on the south coast of Iceland's Westfjords. Here, you can enjoy a stroll along the 10-kilometer stretch of picturesque coastline. The powdered scallop shells make the beach appear like the surface of another planet! Rauðisandur means "red sand" in Icelandic. While black sand beaches are one of the hallmarks of Iceland's south coast, this remote part of the Westfjords offers something completely different. The color of the sand changes depending on the weather and season. From various shades of yellow to orange, the beach never stays the same color for long.

Be careful when entering the wreck. It is easy to enter, but there are sharp edges everywhere.

Several hundred thousand seabirds can put on a hell of a spectacle. Even if chaos seems to reign, there is a certain order: kittiwakes breed at the bottom, razorbills and guillemots are above them, and puffins have the best spot at the top. In the summer months, the huge breeding area resembles a skyscraper for countless seabirds, which build their nests in the striking rocks, one floor at a time.

Bjargtangar Lighthouse is Europe's westernmost structure and the only permanent building on Látrabjarg, Iceland's largest seabird cliff. With millions of birds visiting seasonally, the island is one of the best places in the country to see puffins - and the scene of some death-defying naval rescues.

The cemetery next to it is very old and looks very enchanted.

Currently, the inhabitants are mainly engaged in commercial fishing and fish processing. Other industries such as fish farming and services are also becoming increasingly important. At the port there are the monuments of the French fishermen and the British fishermen.

The church took two years to build, from 1904 to 1907. It is made of concrete - the only other two known concrete churches are Bíldudal Church and Ingjaldshóll in Hellissandur. The church seats about 200 people and upstairs there is an organ that was installed in 1957. The first priest was Father Bjarna Símonarson, who gave his first sermon on May 19, 1907. In 1957, on the church's 50th anniversary, the famous Icelandic artist Erro created a mosaic artwork on the church's pulpit. The altarpiece in the church is a copy of "One thing is necessary" by Carl Bloch, a well-known Danish painter.
