About Héðinsfjörður
Héðinsfjörður was historically isolated by steep mountains and difficult access. Modern road tunnels now pass through the area, but the fjord itself remains quiet and undeveloped, with a lake, coastline and surrounding hiking terrain.
Our practical tips
✓This is a place for scenery and solitude rather than facilities.
✓Do not block tunnel approaches or roads when looking for somewhere to stop.

Access
The main road between Siglufjörður and Ólafsfjörður passes through tunnels, but exploring the fjord itself involves more limited local access and natural terrain.
