Outstanding nature and seal-watching

On the unpaved road to Søltuvík, there is a hiking path that leads to an outstanding viewpoint of “Drangarnir” (Sea Stacks) and Søltuvík bay. The hike is easy but may be wet in some areas; therefore, we recommend waterproof shoes. A hiking sign is on the left-hand side of the road, and poles mark the path.

If you don’t plan on hiking, you can follow the unpaved road further until you reach the bay of Søltuvík.

Søltuvík is a beautiful area with “malargrót” (water-rolled stones) and dramatic cliffs. It is easy to reach Sandur by foot or car.

In Søltuvík, there are historical traces of former habitations. It was used as a base and lookout post for the British army due to its panoramic viewpoint.
