Location
Siglufjörður – The northernmost town in Iceland
Siglufjörður is known for its herring industry that bloomed in the 1940s and has now transformed into a charming little fishing village with its friendly locals. The town enjoys a dramatic setting beside a small fjord at the northern tip of the Troll Peninsula, Tröllaskagi.
The town was connected with a road for the first time in 1940 when the horse riding trail through Siglufjarðarskarð was improved and enabled cars to get through. Before. ships, seaplanes, horses and strong legs were the only ways to reach Siglufjörður.
The town itself is scenic, quiet and charming and, today, Siglufjörður offers a great variety of activities and leisure opportunities for all travellers. We love to assist our guests to make the most out of their stay in Siglufjörður so please feel free to ask for our advice and assistance when planning your stay in town.
