Amazing waterfall in the Westfjords of Iceland. Incredible emotions. Deep in the remote Westfjords of Iceland, you will find the breathtakingly beautiful Dynjandi waterfall. Dynjandi waterfall is the biggest waterfall in the Westfjords and truly deserves to be called the Jewel of the Westfjords. It is, one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Iceland, at least the most majestic waterfall I have seen in Iceland. Dynjandi, or Fjallfoss as it is often called, cascades some 99-100 meters, looking exactly like a beautiful bridal veil. On top, it is 30 meters wide and widens up to 60 meters at the bottom. There are 6 other waterfalls below Dynjandi, which one passes on the way up to the biggest waterfall. It is quite a scenic route with an elevation of some 200 meters up to the biggest waterfall. The names of the other waterfalls are from above according to the map by the parking lot: Hæstahjallafoss Strompgljúfrafoss (Strompur) Göngumannafoss Hrísvaðsfoss Kvíslarfoss Hundafoss Bæjarfoss (Sjóarfoss) You can see that all these waterfalls end in -foss, which is the Icelandic term for a waterfall. To reach Dynjandi there is a bit of a hike, no more than 15 minutes or so though, and on the way up you can stop by all the smaller waterfalls. A rocky path, made by volunteers back in 1996, leads up to the waterfalls and it is a bit of a climb getting all the way up to Dynjandi. The Icelandic term dynjandi means thunderous or resounding and you will understand why when you hear the thunderous sounds of it in my video below. Dynjandi is preserved as a natural protected monument (since 1981). It is possible with great caution to walk behind Göngumannafoss waterfall. Dynjandi waterfall is located by Dynjandisvogur bay and Arnarfjörður fjord. Arnarfjörður fjord is 30 km long and 5-10 km wide and the second biggest fjord in the Westfjords. Many bird species stay in this fjord in the summertime, and all in all 35 species have been registered in Arnarfjörður fjord. Arnarfjörður is actually Iceland's most notorious sea monster fjord! In Bíldudalur village close by you can learn all about these sea monsters at the Sea Monster Museum. A turf farm by Dynjandi was located by the so-called Bæjarhóll - the Farm Mound and you can visit its remains. There are actually 38 different historical remains in this area and the first mention of a farm here is from the Middle Ages. A path leads to the remains of the farm and outhouses. Above you will see the ruins of one of the outhouses. You will find these remains on your right-hand side as you hike up to Dynjandi. In one spot there is a lukewarm pool, called Volgra or Dynjandislaug pool. It takes some doing though finding that pool and we are to stay within the paths, but seeing that I am very interested in old remains then I searched for the pool as well. The waterfalls in Dynjandi come from lake Stóra-Eyjavatn, which is 350 meters above sea level, from which Dynjandisá river runs. Dynjandisá river is a direct runoff river and often such rivers have seasonal floods. The floods in Dynjandisá take place in springtime and in winter, and then the volume of the river can increase up to tenfold, just imagine what Dynjandi waterfall looks like during these seasonal floods! When driving north on the russet gravel road on Dynjandisheiði heath we are actually driving on top of the waterfall, so to speak. Dynjandisheiði heath was opened for traffic on the 29th of March in 2017, but in 2015 it opened as late as in May, after being closed for 5 months! In my photo below you will see the steep, winding gravel road on Hrafnseyrarheiði heath. It is, of course, difficult for the inhabitants of the Westfjords when the main road between north and south closes for such a long time. A new tunnel, Dýrafjarðargöng, opened in the year 2020 from Arnarfjörður to the next fjord Dýrafjörður and Þingeyri village. That tunnel is 5.6 km long and they shorten Vestfjarðavegur road by 27.4 km. It was especially difficult for the companies, which operate both on the north and the south part of the Westfjords. One fish processing had to drive around the Westfjords for 520 km (one way!) instead of the 115 km over the heaths to reach its destination on the other side of the Westfjords! Other tunnels have made the Westfjords much easier to visit, like the Vestfjarðagöng tunnels, which were opened back in 1996. They connect Skutulsfjörður, Súgandisfjörður, and Önundarfjörður fjords and are altogether 9.113 m long (Bændablaðið). Then we have Bolungarvíkurgöng tunnel which opened back in 2010.
