At the head of tiny Reykjarfjörður, 23km southeast of Bíldudalur (in the direction of Rte

have a concrete pool (32°C), in the back there's a natural, stone one (45°C), and all
around are soaring seabirds, mountains and fjord views.

Dynjandi
WATERFALL
Tumbling in a broad sweep over a 100m-rocky scarp at the head of Dynjandivogur bay,
Dynjandi (Fjallfoss) is the most dramatic waterfall in the Westfjords. The bumpy drive to
Dynjandi, from either direction, is famous in Iceland for its incredible views; you'll see
how the falls are the catchment area for peaks and inland valleys all around.
In 2015 there is slated to be a bus between Ísafjörður and Brjánslækur, summer only,
that should stop at Dynjandi. Check
