Djúpivogur and Borgarfjörður eystri

After the stop in Höfn, we are travelling further east and exploring the villages Djúpivogur and Borgarfjörður eystri with a short stop in Egilsstadir in between.

Djúpivogur 
Djúpivogur is one of the most beautiful villages in Iceland and lies in the southeastern part of Iceland. The pyramid-shaped peak named Búlandstindur, reaching up to 1069 meters, dominates the landscape. The long history of trading lasts back to 1589, and the oldest preserved house (built in 1790) now serves as a cultural center. Shallow lagoons, coastal lakes and mudflats around the village are rich in birdlife.

​Borgarfjörður eystri
In eastern Iceland lies the hidden treasure Borgarfjörður eystri. It is a very small village that has plenty to offer, including some legendary elfin settlements and a variety of hiking routes. In addition, the marina has the best access to puffins in Iceland, where one can observe the birds at a very short distance.
