詳細
Ísafjörður Tjaldsvæði is a municipal campsite set in the heart of Iceland's Westfjords, one of the country's most remote and scenically wild regions. The town of Ísafjörður sits on a narrow spit of land jutting into Skutulsfjörður, surrounded by towering mountains that plunge directly into the water. With a history stretching back to Iceland's earliest trading era, the town has well-preserved wooden buildings, a vibrant local culture, and a surprising array of cafés and restaurants. The campsite is conveniently placed close to all town facilities, making it one of the most comfortable bases for exploring the Westfjords. Day trips from here include the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve — accessible by ferry and entirely free of roads — as well as Dynjandi waterfall, the iconic cascade of the Westfjords. The famous Westfjords Heritage Museum is a short walk away. The midnight sun effect is especially dramatic from this latitude in summer.
