About Brimnesviti
Brimnesviti stands on the outer Brimnes peninsula, an area with a long history of farming and fishing. Reaching it involves travelling around ten kilometres from Seyðisfjörður towards Selstaðir and then continuing on foot towards Brimnes.
Our practical tips
✓Combine Brimnesviti with Brimnes rather than treating them as two separate journeys.
✓The remote coastal setting is more important than the lighthouse itself.
