레이캬네스바에르 최고의 사이클링 경로

Keflavík – Lighthouse, Anchor, and Sea Music Many see it only as an airport town, but Keflavík has a seafaring soul. At the port, the yellow lighthouse (Keflavíkurviti) and the giant anchor sculpture await you, reminding you that everything here begins at sea. Among streets lined with murals and the smell of salt, two churches stand out: the classic Keflavíkurkirkja and the modern, triangular one. In the 1960s, it was called the Liverpool of the North: bands that shaped Icelandic music emerged from here. A short stop, but one steeped in history, color, and character. ⚓🌊🎸

As of August 18, 2025: Iceland experienced its twelfth volcanic eruption in just over four years. On the sparsely populated Reykjanes Peninsula, southwest of Reykjavik, the earth opened up again on Wednesday, July 16. Since Tuesday, August 5, no more lava has been escaping from the eruption fissure located approximately seven kilometers northeast of Grindavik. Volcanologists believe it is highly likely that the eruption has ended for the time being. The temporarily closed campsite in the town of Grindavik is now freely accessible again.

Most people skip it on their way to Reykjavik, but here you'll find waterfront promenades, hidden street art, and the Icelandic Rock Museum for a local touch. Perfect for stretching your legs, sipping a cup of coffee overlooking the Atlantic, and starting (or ending) your trip with good vibes. The airport is 10 minutes away.

Quite nice, unfortunately not in perfect condition.

Beautiful sculpture on the shore of Keflavík.

Looks very funny.

The Eider Duck is one of the most common birds in Iceland. As it‘s one of the best insulations it was for a long time also a source of income for the local farms.
