What people say

Kristen Mackiewicz

" head to the north side of the fjord, keeping eyes peeled for a parking lot, just before the hotel Langahlid Seydisfirdi. From here, hike 20-30 minutes onto a very rough dirt road, past beautiful cascades. Continue upward for spectacular views of the fjord and Mt. Bjolfur. This historic route used to transport mail and goods between Seydisfjordur and other nearby towns at the turn of the 19th century. At the very top of this summit lies the beautiful lake, Vestdalsvatn--you should reach it after 3 hours of hiking. This is also the site of a tiny cave where workers found the remains of a 30-year-old woman from the Viking era. Dubbed Fjallkona, or "Lady of the Mountain," her grave was adorned with more than 400 pearls and brooches that date back to the 10th century."
