Kirkjufell
Kirkjufell, or ‘Church Mountain,’ is a strikingly shaped peak on the north coast of Iceland's Snaefellsnes peninsula, a short distance from the town of Grundarfjordur. It is often referred to as ‘Iceland's most photographed mountain’ due to its dramatic shape and perfect coastal location.
At 463 metres high, Kirkjufell is an impressive landmark. Over the centuries, Kirkjufell's distinctive slopes have served as a visual landmark for sailors and travellers. More recently, it has attracted both amateur and professional photographers.
Within walking distance of Kirkjufell lies the serene and perfectly situated Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall, or “Church Mountain Waterfall”, an excellent subject for photographers who can easily frame the mountain in the background.
