Sandafell

Sandafell is a 362-metre mountain rising directly above the village of Þingeyri in Dýrafjörður. Despite its modest height, the mountain offers excellent views across Þingeyri, Dýrafjörður and the surrounding Westfjords mountains.

Sandafell can be reached on foot from Þingeyri, with another option to begin the hike from the road above the village. At the top, an orientation panel helps visitors identify prominent landmarks in the surrounding landscape. A mountain road also leads towards the summit and is suitable for 4x4 vehicles. Sandafell is therefore an accessible viewpoint and a rewarding option for visitors looking for panoramic views of Dýrafjörður without a long mountain hike.
