Flókalundur is a beautiful location in Vatnsfjörður fjord in Iceland's Westfjords. This picturesque area on the Vatnsfjörður shore entails breathtaking views of Vatnsfjörður fjord, Breiðafjörður bay and beyond. Flókalundur is great for relaxation, with a nearby restaurant, camping, accommodation and more. It is perfect for those that want to spend a night after traversing through the Westfjords, with plenty of natural attractions to discover as a bonus. Nature enthusiasts have plenty of activities waiting; they can take a walk alongside river Penna or explore the small gorge starting from the bridge. There’s even Hellulaug hot spring few meters away, famous for its natural thermal waters. Flókalundur also carries historical significance as it is the believed origin of the name "Iceland", given by Hrafna-Flóki when he stayed here for a winter and was not prepared for the extreme cold environment. Regardless, Flókalundur will give you a calming and satsifying experience that is worth making time for.
