Kirkjufell

" This pyramid shaped mountain has been awarded the most photographed mountain in Iceland. It's not hard to see why! Kirkjufell is the crown jewel of the Snæfellsnes peninsula and a must see location. In my opinion, it looks like the sorting hat from Harry Potter - anyone else? Time: 30 minutes-1 hour Rating: 5/5 Crowds: busy Vehicle: all accessible Parking: medium lot - free Amenities: none Photo gear: a tripod and ND filter are necessary if you want to get silky waterfalls! Views: park in the lot and follow the path until you reach the waterfalls - the classic shot is there looking towards the mountain. You can also follow the path down to get closer to the falls and a different perspective. Pro-tip: keep walking past the crowds until you reach the lake - there you will find my favorite photo op and a unique view at Kirkjufell. I've marked it on the map for convenience. Seasonal: You WILL need crampons November-March as the paths get very slippery due to the spray from the waterfall."

"Kirkjufell is one of Iceland's iconic landmarks and it certainly lives up to the hype! A short distance away from Kirkjufell is Kirkjufellsfoss, a beautiful waterfall that lines up perfectly with Kirkjufell for an incredible view. Plentiful parking is available right at the waterfall, but it is paid. The waterfall is just a short walk down from the parking lot, and you can also walk across the road to Kirkjufell to hike up. Cost: Free Parking: $5.30 parking in the main parking lot for Kirkjufell/Kirkjufellsfoss"

"Kirkjufell is a distinctly shaped peak found on the north shore of Iceland’s Snæfellsnes Peninsula, only a short distance away from the town of Grundarfjörður. It is often called ‘the most photographed mountain in Iceland’ due to its dramatic formation and perfect coastal location. Within walking distance from Kirkjufell is the serene and perfectly located waterfall Kirkjufellsfoss, an excellent subject for photographers who can easily frame the mountain in the background."
