Dynjandi
The most spectacular waterfall in the Westfjords. Its roughly 100-meter cascade spreads out in tiers like a bridal veil, with six smaller falls below.
The main waterfall is about 30 meters wide at the top and 60 meters at the base. It cascades in steps down a hillside at the head of Arnarfjörður. Its Icelandic name means "the thunderer." From the parking lot, a trail takes about 15 to 20 minutes to climb, passing six smaller falls, each with its own character, before reaching the foot of the main fall. Entry is free, and there are toilets.
With the new tunnels and the road across the Dynjandi heath, the drive from Ísafjörður takes about 1.5 hours. In winter, the mountain roads may still be closed.
