Bakkagerði

Bakkagerði lies on the shore of Borgarfjörður Eystri, where steep mountains encircle a small East Iceland fjord opening to the North Atlantic. This compact settlement is the main community in Borgarfjörður Eystri, a remote part of the Eastfjords known for walking routes through mountain passes and coastal coves. At Hafnarhólmi by the harbour, designated paths bring visitors close to a seasonal puffin colony without entering nesting areas. Above the village, the rocky outcrop Álfaborg is linked by local tradition to elves, giving the settlement a lasting connection to Icelandic folklore.
