Fáskrúðsfjörður Campsite

Fáskrúðsfjörður, also known as 'Frenchman's Fjord', was home to hundreds of French fishermen in the 19th century. The campsite is in the village, which preserves this history — signs are in both French and Icelandic and the old French seamen's hospital still stands. A beautiful fjord with great cycling and walking routes.
