Troll Peninsula Highlights

🚗 Take Road 82
♨️ Morning soak in tubs by the ocean in Hauganes

🥾 10-15 minute hike to þverárfoss (waterfall in a gorge)

🍽️ Stop for a quick lunch in rustic Gísli Eirikur Helgi : Amazing atmosphere and staff + they have the best fish soup in Iceland, delicious bread, coffee and home baked cakes

📸 Next photo spot is Mígandifoss - a small roadside waterfall falling off the cliffs to the ocean
- Then there's also a pull-off on the right side right before you enter the tunnel - good place for some bonus views and photos

📸 Before you enter Olafsfjörður there's a small pull-off where you can get some nice photos of the fjord
- then you can also visit the black beach where you can strech your legs and take a short walk and see fjord form a little different angle (perhaps only worth it if the mountains are not all in clouds)

⛪️ Next stop Siglufjörður : charming old fishing town.

Park your car in the harbour : https://maps.app.goo.gl/7aNduerS7YEdBUcK8

Take a walk along the shore towards Herring Museum (Cool place to visit if you want to learn something about how this used to be the herring capital of Iceland). If not, then it's still nice place to take some photo of form outside and there're other photo opportunities along the way.

🥐 Before you leave the town you can visit cozy Herring Caffé located in Herring Museum or grab some fresh pastries to go in local bakery.

📸 There'll be two viewpoints : one before you enter the tunnel and another one with bigger pull-off soon after you exit the tunnel

📸 Quick photo spot : Sauðanesvíti - you can either snap some shots from the road/view point or drive down to it for some bonus angles.

🚗 Then continue a scenic drive along the coast

🏔️ If you have time, take detour to Stifluvatn, hidden lake deep in the Fljót valley. There's a nice viewpoint right before you drive down towards the lake. Park your car on the right side of the road and walk to the small viewpoint on the left side for the best view.

📸 After you visit the church, if you're up for an adventure you can visit my favourite place Kotárfoss. A hidden waterfall in a deep gorge. It's a short hike but requires a little bit of agility as a few sections of the trail car be a little steep, plus you will have to cross the stream (ankle to knee deep) two times.

- An easier alternative would be visit Reykjafoss waterfall nearby (paid parkking) which also has a little hot spring you can bath in right above the waterfall
