Strengfell Mountain

Local name: Strengfell

A single stop takes in both Bíldudalur and the fjord it stands on.

Strengfell Mountain rises above the village of Bíldudalur and its fjord, in the Westfjords of Iceland. It is visited for the view: the village lies directly below, and the water opens out beyond it. The visit is brief, and the site is suitable for children.

What makes it special

From Strengfell Mountain the village of Bíldudalur and the fjord line up in a single view: the houses directly below, the water behind them. A short stop is enough to see it, which makes the mountain a detour worth taking on the way through the Westfjords rather than a day out. It is suitable for children.

Bring water and sun protection.

Getting there

Nothing comes right up to Strengfell Mountain. The nearest car park lies about 3 km away, and the nearest bus stop is a similar distance, so the last stretch is walked in both cases. Allow for those 3 km each way when planning the stop, and treat the walk, not the drive, as the main part of getting here.
