Kirkjufell (Icelandic: Church Mountain)
Kirkjufell (Icelandic: Church mountain) is a 463m high mountain on the north coast of Iceland's Snæfellsnes peninsula, near the town of Grundarfjörður.
Beautifully shaped, Kirkjufell is one of the most photographed mountain in Iceland. Its isolated position jutting out into the sea makes it a focal point for tourists and seamen alike. Surrounded by beaches, Kirkjufell has a lovely walking trail around it as well as a more challenging climb up to the top where bird and fish fossils can be found.
Besides it are the short but very well situated waterfalls called Kirkjufellsfoss (Church Mountain Waterfalls).
