Fuglabjarganes

Fuglabjarganes is on the north side of Vopnafjörður’s coastline. 

It is on Iceland’s nature conservatory list for its beautiful and diverse coast and abundant birdlife, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers. 

The hike begins near Road 913 and follows a 6 km circular footpath that takes you along the beach to the headland, where high buffs descend into the sea. Along the way, you'll see rock pillars rising from the ocean and enjoy panoramic views across the open sea. The terrain includes narrow sheep paths, grassy areas and small river crossings, which may be a little wet after rain. 

This trail is best enjoyed from April to October when conditions are most favourable. Please exercise caution near the cliff and do not go too close the cliff edge.
