Often called the most beautiful waterfall in the region, Dynjandi is a powerful cascade that fans out like a bridal veil down a cliff face. The main waterfall drops 100 meters, with several smaller falls below it that you’ll pass on a short but rewarding hike. Surrounded by raw, untouched nature, Dynjandi is a highlight for photographers and nature lovers alike—majestic, remote, and unforgettable.

Nestled between steep mountains and the calm waters of Önundarfjörður, Flateyri is a peaceful fishing village with deep roots and quiet beauty. Once a whaling and shark-fishing hub, today it’s known for its colorful homes, scenic views, and strong sense of community. A walk through town reveals its resilience—especially the massive avalanche barrier built after a tragic slide in 1995. Visitors often stop by the quirky Nonsense Museum or the cozy secondhand bookstore café, but even just a stroll along the harbor offers a taste of small-town Iceland at its most genuine.

Set along the shores of Önundarfjörður, Holtsbryggja is a quiet pier near the old settlement of Holt that offers wide views across calm waters and steep mountains. It’s not just scenic—it’s also a bird sanctuary, home to nesting eider ducks, arctic terns, and black-headed gulls during the summer months. The setting is calm and reflective, perfect for a short walk, a few photos, or simply taking in the sound of wind and wings. On still days, the water mirrors the sky, and you might even spot seals gliding past the shoreline. A peaceful, wild corner of the Westfjords.
