Vöðlavík
 and Helgustaðanáma sparmine
Black beach, natural monument, sparmine

The Tour

We depart from Eskifjörður at 10:00. We drive to the countryside and visit one of Iceland's most significant places, in an international perspective, and one of the most remarkable meeting places on earth, Helgustaðanáma.
​Spar crystals were found there, which transformed the world into various scientific and technological developments in the period 1780-1872.

 
We drive over Víkurheiði which lies at about 400m above sea level and to Vöðlavík. Permanent residence was in the bay until 1968, but in recent years it has become a hangout for those who are looking for peace and quiet. The bay is sparse and famous for its natural beauty.
 A road was built to Vöðlavík in 1940 and it still serves its role as the main transport route to get there.

​When driving down to Vöðlavík, a small stream flows alongside the road and forms beautiful waterfalls.

We drive out on the black sand and enjoy the energy from the ocean. When we have had a coffee, we head back to Eskifjörður.
