Best seasonApril–October

Fuglabjarganes is a coastal or beach area in East Iceland, shaped by open shoreline, sea views and the surrounding landscape. Tides, light and weather can change the character of the coast significantly, making each visit look and feel different. The visit can be combined with Vopnafjörður and Tangasporður . Around Icelandic coasts, always keep a safe distance from strong surf and pay close attention to local conditions.

The place can form part of a wider trip through East Iceland, combining naturally with other landscape, heritage and travel experiences depending on interests and season.

Safety

Use particular caution near cliff edges and do not approach the edge too closely. Parts of the trail can be wet after rain and include small stream crossings.
