When you leave behind the dramatic, breathtaking, but utterly tourist-packed south of the island and turn the wheel onto Route 1 heading northeast<\/strong>, the landscape suddenly takes a deep breath. Traffic thins out, the crowds at the waterfalls disappear, and you find yourself in a world ruled by endless bays, steep mountains and absolute calm. Welcome to the east fjords of Iceland<\/strong>, a place plenty of travellers blindly drive straight through, but one we fell head over heels for from the very first moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I explored the east fjords of Iceland on the sixth and seventh days of our autumn road trip, right at the turn of September and October, and we still think back fondly on that isolated beauty<\/strong>. While down south we sometimes had to dodge tour buses at the landmarks, up here we had loads of spots entirely to ourselves. I was fascinated by how the tarmac winds endlessly along the deep bays, and how every new bend reveals a view even prettier than the last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article you’ll find 12 things to see and do<\/strong> in the east fjords. We’ll look at gorgeous basalt canyons, I’ll show you the most adorable little arts town, and I’ll tell you where to spot tame puffins or wild reindeer. I’ll also throw in practical info on where to base yourself strategically, what prices look like right now, and why you should pay close attention to which side of the river<\/strong> you pick for your trip. Let’s dive in! \u263a\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n
