How special Iceland is! During our 4-day road trip Iceland, we saw so much beauty. In this series, I will take you around this spectacularly beautiful island, past high cliffs and stunning views. Starting with our first stop: the Vatnsnes Peninsula, best known for \u00d3sar Hostel and the big rock. But Vatnsness has much more to offer! We drove around the entire peninsula on the first day and discovered spectacular nature, beautiful walks, cute cottages, unusual rock formations and seal colonies. Enjoy the photos and get inspiration for your own trip to Iceland!<\/p>\n

If you drive the along the ring road 1, you will automatically reach the Vatnsnes peninsula at some point. We drove from the west side of Iceland onto road number 711, which goes almost all the way around the peninsula. The first significant village we encountered was Hvammstangi (population 600), 197 kilometers north of the capital Reykjavik. In the village we find the Icelandic Seal Center<\/strong><\/a>, where we ask for information about places to spot seals. We also eat our self-brought lunch here. In the cold and wind. We continued on road 711 and on our first full day in Iceland were already amazed by the unreal beauty of this island.<\/p>\n You can find the Seal Center on the map here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t
