쉬운 노르뒤뢰잉 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

In Jökulsárgljúfur National Park, the Jökulsá á Fjöllum River has created Iceland's longest river canyon, stretching over 25 km. There are several beautiful hiking trails through the park, starting at the Vesturdalur campsite. One tour leads to the red mountain cones of the Rauðhólar crater series, which offer excellent views over the canyon. Those who want to hike the three waterfalls of Jökulsárgljúfur can take the hiking trail above the canyon and pass the Hafragilsfoss, Dettifoss, and Selfoss waterfalls one after the other. With the establishment of Vatnajökull National Park in 2008, Jökulsárgljúfur National Park was incorporated into the larger park.

The Selfoss Waterfall is characteristically wider than it is tall, with a height of approximately 11 meters (36 feet) and a width of around 100 meters (330 feet). This impressive width creates a majestic waterfall, particularly impressive from the surrounding cliffs. The powerful flow of water and the mist it creates give the waterfall an enchanting atmosphere. This combination of vastness and mist makes Selfoss a photographer's paradise, offering numerous opportunities for impressive shots in a variety of lighting conditions.

Husavík means "the bay of houses," as legend says it was settled before the official settlement date of 874 AD. Gardar Svavarsson was a Swede who wintered in Iceland in 870 AD. According to legend and sagas, he left behind a man named Nattfari and two slaves to cultivate a farm here.

Although most tourists come to Húsavik on Skjálfanda Bay for the popular whale-watching tours, a visit to the wooden church, built in 1907, is still a must. The oldest piece in the church is the chandelier, dating from 1640. Other items, such as the altarpiece from 1931, are more recent.

The Whale Museum, founded as the Húsavík Whale Centre (Hvalamiðstöðinn Húsavíkur) in 1997, is the only whale museum in Iceland. It is a non-profit organization and offers information on the various species, including their evolution and biology, on 1,600 square meters of exhibition space. The museum also contains information on the history of Icelandic whaling, whale strandings, and the natural history of whales.

A wonder of nature. Definitely worth a look!

beautiful little stream

Europe's most powerful waterfall: 100 meters wide and a roar that reaches your chest. Dettifoss isn't gentle, it's brutal. Put on your raincoat, head to the viewing platform, and let the power of Iceland wash over you.
