The best view of these spectacular waterfalls is from the car park, from where you can view the main falls, at the top, and the various cascades below them. If you are fit and sure of foot, you can climb alongside the stream to stand below the main falls, a sheet of water 60 meters wide falling 100 meters over a horizontally stratified rock face, mimicking a leaping chessboard made of water; quite remarkable, and a sight you will never, ever forget.

7. Osvor Maritime Museum

Reviewed By 312karenc - Malden Bridge, United States
We visited in winter. The place was officially closed, but we could still walk around the site which is located on the shore. Wonderful replica fishing huts with grass roofs and fish drying shack with fish in it. It was really charming. Great views of the town, mountains and fjord. We watched a seal fish and lay on a rock very near shore. Just 100 meters or so up the road is an adorable lighthouse. Across from the lighthouse, there is an easy hiking trail up the mountain. All this might not warrant a 7 hour trip from Reykjavik but if you are in Isafjordur or otherwise nearby in the Westfjords, this could be a really great place to spend 1-3 hours, winter or summer, open or closed.
