Bolafjall

You'll experience Bolafjall sky walk, enjoy the views of steep cliffs and endless North Atlantic Ocean with Hornstrandir Nature Reserve in the far distance. Also, you will have a chance to learn about a key piece of NATO's monitoring infrastructure located on the mountain. After walking into the sky, we will head for a short hike to explore the old and abandoned lignite mine in Syðridalur. This tour is perfect for those who appreciate dramatic landscapes and historical curiosities. At 628m, the Bolafjall platform spectacularly overlooks the Djúpið or Isafjörður deep. The long inlet marks the watery borders of inhabited and unpopulated land the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve without a single road. NATO radar station is also situated at the summit of Bolafjall. The station was built by the Americans but is now controlled by the Icelandic coast guard.

Bolungarvik

Syðridalur in Bolungarvík is known for an old lignite mine which is situated in the valley. Lignite was mined from the mine in the years of 1917 until 1921 or while and after the first World War. The reason why the mining was shut down is because coal from Europe became more accessible after the war. To get into the mine you almost have to crawl, but once you're in the ceiling gets higher and you can stand upright. The walk up to the mine takes around 20-25 minutes on a marked trail.

Our guide, Evelyn, was very friendly and informative throughout the excursion. The hike to the mine was beautiful. It was a moderate hike with beautiful views along the way. Bolafjall was breathtaking. The drive up to the top was exciting with massive views. At the top the observation deck was outstanding and afforded beautiful long range views. The excursion was unique in that we were a small group and could really enjoy ourselves at our own pace.

This tour is fantastic!! Orla and Justas are the most knowledgeable, sincere people! My family learned all about the Icelandic ways, witnessed the most incredible scenery and will never forget this experience. The caves, waterfalls, and lookout area are a must do!!
