Iceland’s nature is unlike anything one has ever seen. The small village of Djupivogur is located within stunning scenery, surrounded by mountains, glaciers, unique lava formations, moss covered cliff and deep valleys, to name just a few.
This tour offers an intimate walking tour starting at the pier and is ideal for those interested in nature, local culture, history, and learning about the wildlife in the area. Walk with your guide to Bóndavarða cache. Bondavarda is a pile of rocks, similar to a cairn, that has been carefully assembled by one person or a party to guide others during the cold, dark winters.
Bóndavarða offers a fantastic view of the village and surrounding area. Within this vista is Búlandstindur mountain with its pyramid shapes of basaltic strata and it is counted as one of the mystical power centres of the country.
After enjoying the lovely view, your local guide will continue the tour by walking down to Breidivogur and Fyluvogur that are two small lakes adjacent to each other. Here you’ll find a bird watching hut, often used by bird watchers.
This walking tour is enjoyable for those who are interested in nature, local culture and history and learning about the bird life in the area.
