2025 Hellissandur Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

🌄 Visited Kirkjufell in early March⛰️ and the red-roofed church in Heidlissund🏰. It was a beautiful experience! The temperature is about -2°C to 3°C❄️. Church Mountain is located on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, 463 meters above sea level. It is not a volcano, but an island peak from the Ice Age. The lava and sandstone are stacked, and the tuff on the top is shining. This is the filming location of "Game of Thrones"! The Red-roofed Church of Heidlisand (Ingjaldshólskirkja) is located nearby. It was built in 1903. The red roof and white walls are super cute💖The red roof is an Icelandic tradition🏡. For example, Búðakirkja has a similar design, but there are also red-roofed churches in Northern Europe such as Norway🇳🇴 and Sweden🇸🇪. Iceland is more distinctive because of its natural background🌟 ⏰ It is recommended to reserve 2-3 hours 🚗 The two places are about 1 hour’s drive away🚗 📍 Heidelisand Red-roofed Church (Ingjaldshólskirkja) 📍 Kirkjufell, Iceland For more travel and food information around the world, please follow @bunnys2peach_travel 🌷 #iceland #Europeantravel #NorthernEurope #Europe #Icelandtravel #GlobalTravel

June 29, Hvammstangi - Snaefellsnes Peninsula - Reykjavik Today's itinerary: Snaefellsnes Peninsula, including Kirkjufell, the Red Church, and Arnarstapi. The Snaefellsnes Peninsula is known as a miniature Iceland, where you can see volcanoes, glaciers, waterfalls, black sand beaches, charming fishing villages, and abundant wildlife. The mountain is also famous for French writer Jules Verne's novel Journey to the Center of the Earth. After driving for about 3 hours from the hotel, we finally arrived at the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. The scenery along the way was beautiful, with snow-capped mountains, the sea, and tundra. First stop, Kirkjufell Kirkjufell, which translates to "Church Mountain", is more commonly known as "Kirkjufell" because of its resemblance to a fallen straw hat. Although Kirkjufell is only 460 meters high, its unique shape and stunning surroundings have made it one of the iconic landmarks of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. It has also been selected by many professional photographers as "one of the 27 reasons why Iceland is the most beautiful country in the world". Kirkjufell is surrounded by a beach and a beautiful walking path. We didn't climb it, but just took photos at the foot of Kirkjufell. The classic spot is to take a photo with the waterfall at the foot of Kirkjufell as the foreground. The waterfall is picturesque and echoes the shape of Kirkjufell, making it a great photo opportunity. Second stop, Ingjaldshólskirkja, the red house for eye tests I found the prototype of the red house for eye tests in Iceland. Do nearsighted friends know this place? The red house in the eye test machine in China is the red-roofed church on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula in Iceland. Sunny sky, blue sea, large patches of purple lupines along the road, a straight path with ups and downs, and the little red house at the end of the path nestled at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, as beautiful as a fairy tale. Third stop, Arnarstapi Arnarstapi is a small village in the southern part of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, where we had lunch. Walking along the coastline, you can see the magnificent sea cliffs. Due to their romantic and unique shape, they are also known as "Kissing Rocks". If you continue along the trail for another 10 minutes, you can see the Western Stone Bridge. You can stand on the stone bridge and take photos. Due to time constraints, we didn't go there. There are also other attractions such as Ytri Tunga, the seal beach, and Búðakirkja, the black church. Unfortunately, we didn't go to any of them, which is my biggest regret on this trip to Iceland. I only found out about these attractions after I returned home. However, some friends didn't see any seals even after they went there. Whether you see them or not depends on luck. The seal photos are super cute. In the evening, we stayed at the Konvin Hotel by Reykjavik Keflavik Airport, a hotel near the airport, convenient for catching our flight the next day.
