It's worth comming here. Wander around and see the mountain from different views and different daylights. The waterfalls nearby are a beautiful foreground of the Mountain. But be aware the parking is very expensive, 10,000 ISK, no matter how long you stay.

The Kirkjufell Mountain claims to be Iceland's most photographed attraction. Indeed, it's an amazing sight, much reminding on Switzerland's Matterhorn. You can see it from the road and approach it on several spots. We stayed in a same name guesthouse (Kirkjufell Guesthouse - very good) so had direct views of it. Unfortunately, no northern lights when we've been.

This mountain is worth visiting. We parked in the parking lot to walk to the waterfall, which was rather expensive. I wish we had stopped along the road to take more photos from different angles. Microspikes were a must to access the waterfall.

We learnt about this mountain and the waterfalls in front through social media. It was bitter cold when we were there but the scenery is still wow wow wow. Be careful when walking around the area in winter as the paths were icy and Party dangerous. Still we managed to go down to reach the end of the waterfalls area. The view is stunning! It could be different during spring or summer as then you might not be able to walk where we walked Attention: you need to pay for parking (1000 ISK for a day ticket). The ticket machine also accepts maestro cards or other bank cards. But dont forget to pay as there are surveillance cameras which register your car.
