Waterfall in Tungudalur

The waterfall in Tungudalur near Ísafjörður




The waterfall in Tungudalur has an attractive cascade flanked by large fields of purple wildflowers and bush. Given how conspicuous it was, I was surprised at how it didn't seem to have any formal name to it. In any case, we thought this was a worthwhile attraction especially considering it was very close to the surprisingly busy town of Ísafjörður (the main town of any size in the Westfjords).

We did a couple of short walks to get different views of the falls, but we didn't walk very much even though the trails kept going (and we weren't sure where they were going).

Directions: We got here from Ísafjörður by going 3km west of town on Route 61 to the turnoff for Tungudalur (we happened to pass by the falls and valley as we left the tunnel that opened up towards Ísafjörður as we headed into town). From there, we continued on the spur road to a car park area where there was already view of the falls as well as some walking tracks getting closer to it.
