  • Bolafjall

This tour is perfect for those who appreciate dramatic landscapes and historical curiosities. At 628m, the Bolafjall platform spectacularly overlooks the Djúpið or Isafjörður deep. The long inlet marks the watery borders of inhabited and unpopulated land the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve without a single road. NATO radar station is also situated at the summit of Bolafjall. The station was built by the Americans but is now controlled by the Icelandic coast guard.
  • Bolungarvik
    Syðridalur in Bolungarvík is known for an old lignite mine which is situated in the valley. Lignite was mined from the mine in the years of 1917 until 1921 or while and after the first World War. The reason why the mining was shut down is because coal from Europe became more accessible after the war. To get into the mine you almost have to crawl, but once you're in the ceiling gets higher and you can stand upright. The walk up to the mine takes around 20-25 minutes on a marked trail.
