Vestrahorn is an impressive mountain on the peninsula Stokksnes. Together with Kirkjufell, it is probably the most photographed mountain in Iceland. With its dramatic peaks, it reaches up to 454 meters high. The contrast of the peaks rising out the flat black sand beach of Stokksnes, making this such a mysterious place. When standing on the beach, you can see the reflection of the mountain in the leftover water from the washed up waves, which gives this place an extra dimension. If you’re lucky you can spot dozens of wild Icelandic horses. There is a small entry fee to access Stokksnes. When you stay at the campsite, it’s included in the camping price.
