On the second-to-last day of our two-week autumn road trip, we decided to dedicate our time to a region that’s affectionately nicknamed “Iceland in miniature.”<\/strong> In plain English, that means if you don’t have time to loop the entire island along the famous Ring Road, the Sn\u00e6fellsnes peninsula in Iceland<\/strong> serves up the essence of everything that makes this country so magical, all on one compact stretch of land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll find dramatic cliffs plunging into a frothing ocean, golden and coal-black beaches, rising volcanic craters, and of course a majestic glacier<\/strong> glinting in the distance under gusts of Nordic wind. When Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I arrived here at the turn of September and October 2018, we were already pretty worn out from the previous days, but the wild, raw landscape instantly recharged our batteries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although we were mostly looking forward to the famous Mount Kirkjufell<\/strong>, I’ll admit straight away that it slightly disappointed us, because it was crammed with crowds of tourists wielding giant tripods, and that perfect postcard view only really works from one specific angle. But it was all made up for by the wonderfully romantic village of Arnarstapi<\/strong>, where we strolled hand in hand along the cliff edge while enormous waves shattered against the basalt rocks and snow-capped peaks loomed in the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s probably one of the most beautiful places<\/strong> we saw on our entire trip. In this article you’ll find tips on what to see and do on the Sn\u00e6fellsnes peninsula, advice on where to stay without breaking the bank, and a few recommendations for vegetarians<\/strong>, because finding good meat-free food outside the big cities can sometimes be a bit of a challenge. \u263a\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n
