On our trip through the Westfjords we debated which sights to see and which to skip. There are so many things to see, and we simply didn't have time for them all. We are so glad we didn't take a pass on Dynjandi! This is a strong contender for our favorite waterfall in all of Iceland, and given the competition that is really saying something. After taking many kilometers of unpaved roads to get there, we parked in the late afternoon sun and hiked up the little trail. What makes this set of falls fun is that you can see the largest and most impressive part of the falls from the parking area, but there are numerous smaller falls on the way up. Each is named and has its own unique look and appeal. The trail gets steeper near the top, but it is not that long, and you have chances to stop and admire the view along the way. At the very end, you can stand in or near the spray from the bridal veil flow of the upper falls. It is bigger than you think! As a bonus, the view back down the fjord from here is amazing. So when you reach the top, be sure to turn around and get the panorama in all its glory. That may have been my single favorite view in the entire country.

We have not visited Westfjords during our 2022 trip, and I was excited for our 2024 trip to this region especially because of this waterfall - it did not disappoint! It's huge, it's remote, it's complex with various levels you take up - it's definitely a little challenge/effort to get to the upper most platform - but it's glorious! There are free restrooms here, fairly big (for this remote side of the country) parking lot as well - the road leading here is ironically gravel road for the most part, it caught me off guard but it's an easy one so don't worry about that TIP: I am not sure if the fee we paid is mandatory for the parking or voluntarily, I want to say it's the letter but all in all support the good cause, even if not a must!

Awesome fall in the Western Fjords. There is a simple trail that leads close to the top, with intermediate smaller falls that create a preview of the bigger one. The water flow is impressive and it looks like a silk fall of water.
