Dynjandi — Attraction in Westfjords

Dynjandi is one of the most beautiful waterfalls I have ever seen. It is a series of seven waterfalls that cascade down a mountainside into a deep fjord. The waterfall is surrounded by lush green mountains and valleys, and the views are simply breathtaking.

I hiked to the top of Dynjandi, and it was definitely worth the climb. The views from the top are incredible, and you can really see the scale of the waterfall. The mist from the waterfall was refreshing, and the sound of the water was so calming.

I highly recommend visiting Dynjandi if you are ever in Iceland. It is one of the most beautiful natural wonders in the country.

Here are some additional things I loved about Dynjandi:

The waterfall is relatively easy to get to, even if you are not renting a car. There are regular buses from Isafjordur to the waterfall.

There is a well-maintained hiking trail that leads to the top of the waterfall. The hike is not too strenuous, but it does get a bit steep towards the end.

The area around the waterfall is perfect for picnicking and relaxing. There are also several cafes and restaurants nearby.

Overall, I had an amazing experience at Dynjandi. It is a must-see for anyone...

Is it worth the drive into the Westfjords?? ABSOLUTELY! This is a spectacular place to visit. The drive in through the fjords is striking and awe inspiring, one sight prettier than the next...and then you arrive at this larger than life wall of falling water and you can hardly catch your breath looking at the majestic nature of it gracefully tumbling down the cliff face. There are actually 7 named falls making your way up to Dynjandi. Each a treat in and of themselves. Take time to savor each...the photo ops are amazing. There are clean WCs and plenty of them. The views will burn in your memory forever. Just breath-taking. The road to the falls are mostly paved but you do have some gravel. You are up and down mountain passes. We visited on June 2nd and did have some snow as we were leaving the Westfjords so summer can be a misnomer. You want good footwear and all weather outerwear because the weather is variable from one 10 minute span to the next. It was 28 degrees in places the day we went in June. Predictions all said 50s. Just be prepared. You will want to spend an hour or two on site and of course...the drive takes time. Visiting truly is a full...

In a country filled with great waterfalls Dynjandi still stands out for its height, width and beauty. We went with an Australian woman Rachel, and her partner on a fabulous day out booked through Get A Guide, which worked superbly. (Sol de Minuit). From the moment you first see it the waterfall impresses, and while it’s good to get up close, this is one where the best view is the first. Seeing the water, and the various parts of it up close never matches the sum of its parts from a distance. The first section of the walk is quite easy, but it gets progressively harder, and the track becomes a mud and rock scramble. There were people on this section who should never have tried, and were a danger to themselves and others. When the cruises are in and tour buses pile up, Dynjandi looks like a hill swarming with ants - there were 14 buses when we arrived, and close to a thousand people on the track. It also made the toilet queue very long (the toilets are unisex so no quick pit stop for the blokes). If possible check out the cruise schedule and shift your visit to another day, or come very early or...
