Iceland
Vestfyrðir, westfjords,
The impressive Dynjandi
waterfall plunges over a 100m-high clifftop into the fjord at Dynjandisvogur inlet, forming a triangular cascade roughly 30m wide at its top spreading to over 60m at its bottom.
Below the main waterfall a series of five smaller chutes carry the waters of the Dynjandisá to the sea. Lit by the low sun, it’s an incredibly pretty place to camp out on a summer night, though the waterfall is famously noisy,
Dynjandi means “the thundering one”.
All -distance buses make a ten-minute stop at Dynjandi; and with your own transport, it’s possible to reach the head of the falls.
Dynjandi is located
twenty kilometres east of Hrafnseyri, at the point where
Route 60 weaves around the
northeastern corner of
Arnarfjörður, if you should be located in the area Dynjandi is definitely a place you don't
want to miss.
