The best of Westfjords - Self Drive
What you'll do
Day 1
Heiße Quelle
Hellulaug
Delightful hot spring
When driving to the Westfjords this is the first hot spring you come to. I always make a stop here after a long drive and relax for a bit.
Heiße Quelle
Sundlaugin Laugarnes
Bathe with scenic views
This is a very scenic pool and hot spring. It has indoor changing rooms and the water temperature is perfect. There's one big pool and a smaller hot spring style pool closer to the ocean. At high tide you can also go for a cold plunge in the ocean.
Besichtigung
Puffin Spot: Látrabjarg
The biggest bird cliff of Northern Europe
The biggest bird cliff of Northern Europe. This one is literally full of birds in summer and has lots of puffins. The drive is on gravel road so it will take some time to get here, keep that in mind when planning your trip.

Restaurant
Stúkuhúsið
Cozy café with stunning views
Stúkuhúsið Café/Restaurant is a cozy spot in Patreksfjörður, nestled right next to the pool with killer views of the fjord. They dish up homemade soups, freshly baked bread, scrumptious cakes, and local goodies. It's the perfect pit stop for a tasty bite and a caffeine fix while soaking in the stunning surroundings.
