ids=\"2602,2608,2611,2612,2618,2615,2613,2600,2606,2605,2619,2617\"]\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>More about our tour destinations<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Berserkjahraun<\/strong><\/p> <p>Berserkjahraun is a 4000 years old lava field situated on the Sn\u00e6fellsnes Peninsula.<\/p> <p>In one of our Icelandic Saga Hei\u00f0av\u00edga Saga that the name Berserkjahraun comes from two berserks that V\u00edga-Styr used to clear path through the lava field. When the berserks had cleared the path V\u00edga-Styr had them killed while they were taking a bath and were vulnerable. The path the two berserks cleared is called Berserkjagata.<\/p> <p>From the viewing platform is a beautiful view over the Berserkjahraun lava field and lake Selvatn and there is a short walk down to a small waterfall called Sau\u00f0afoss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Seal Colony at Ytri Tunga<\/strong><\/p> <p>Ytri Tunga golden sand beach is a beautiful location where seals gather to relax and rest and perfect for seal watching.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bjarnarfoss\u00a0<\/strong><\/p> <p>Bjarnarfoss is a beautiful waterfall that falls from the top of approximately 300 meters high basalt cliff. The cliff was formed by now extinct volcano M\u00e6lifell.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Black Church<\/strong><\/p> <p>B\u00fa\u00f0ir old Black Church is one of the most iconic places in Icelandand is dated back to 1703. B\u00fa\u00f0ir Black Church is fully operational and has historic graveyard too.<\/p> <p>B\u00fa\u00f0ir Church was originally a small turf chapel, and history suggests that in 1816 that Danish King Christion VIII had it demolished.<\/p> <p>In 1848 the church was rebuilt by Sreinunn Sveinsd\u00f3ttir and the in 1984 the church was moved to it\u2019s current location.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arnarstapi and Sea-cliffs<\/strong><\/p> <p>Arnarstapi is a tiny fishing village that sits on the southern edge of the peninsula that stands a monument to rich history Iceland has with the fishing industry as well as its rich history with stories and sagas. With its incredibly accessible location.<\/p> <p>When it comes to breathtaking nature though, Arnarstapi may just win the day as you look over the cliffs that this area has in abundance. Striking basalt columns and curiously cubic rock formations are interlaced with thin walkways caused by years of erosion as the land fights against a sea that wants to reclaim it.<\/p> <p>In Arnarstapi we also got the sculpture of B\u00e1r\u00f0ur Sn\u00e6fells\u00e1s, a troll that used to according to the Icelandic Folk tails, live in a cave nearby and many landmarks around Arnarstapi are named after, like B\u00e1r\u00f0arlaug and B\u00e1r\u00f0arb\u00f3l.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dj\u00fapil\u00f3nssandur Beach<\/strong><\/p> <p>The black sand beaches of Dj\u00fapal\u00f3nssandur. This area was once home to anywhere up to 60 fishing boats and also housed one of the most profitable fishing villages in the area but all of that has now gone leaving behind a beautiful and serene bay.<\/p> <p>On the beach there are also big stones which fisherman\u2019s tried to lift to test their strength in the days of the fishing stations: Fully Strong 154 kg, Half-Strong 100 kg, Weakling 54 kg and Bungler 23 kg. Weakling marked the frontier of wimphood, any man who couldn\u2019t lift it was deemed unsuitable for a life as a fisherman.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mountain Kirkjufell<\/strong><\/p> <p>It would be an understatement to say that Kirkjufell is one of the most popular mountains in Iceland, as the image of this tall mountain reflected in the nearby water has become an image almost synonymous with the country itself. It stands at a height of approximately 463 meters and also has had its 15 minutes of fame on TV playing the part of the\u00a0<strong>\u2018Arrowhead Mountain\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0in the hit show\u00a0<strong>\u2018<em>Game of Thrones<\/em>\u2019<\/strong>.<\/p> <p>Kirkjufellsfoss waterfalls where we can admire the falls with Church Mountain in the background.
