Dalvík, in the north of Iceland right at around 12 o’clock, is a small town of about 1,400 inhabitants on the western side of the Eyjafjörður fjord. We drove through this fishing town on the way to our base in Akureyri as we rounded the peninsula where Dalvík sits on route 76 going east after visiting Hólar earlier that day. Route 76 is not part of the famous ring road. It is a very scenic road hugging the coastline and passing through a couple of charming small towns (Siglufjörður and Olafsfjörður) – a drive I would recommend.
We enjoyed some of the views around Dalvík and here I share some of my favorites. What do these images remind you of?
Incredible landscape around Dalvík and across Eyjafjordur.
Fishing and fish processing are the key industries in Dalvík
Beautiful church (Dalvíkurkirkja) that must almost get lost in winter with it being white!
What seemed to be the main church stands out well against the mountains around the town
