About Streitisviti
The first lighthouse at Streitishvarf was built in 1922 and remained in service until 1958. The current Streitisviti dates from 1984. Its location beside the geological walking area at Streitishvarf makes the lighthouse an easy addition to a coastal stop south of Breiðdalsvík.
Our practical tips
✓Treat the lighthouse and Streitishvarf trail as one visit.
✓The surrounding geology is more interesting than the lighthouse alone.
