Viðfjörður Fjord
The beautiful wilderness at bay Norðfjarðarflói
Of the three fjords or main arms in Norðfjarðarflói bay, Viðfjörður is the most southern. The remaing two are Norðfjörður, the home to Neskaupstaður town, and Hellisfjörður. The Viðfjörður area is widely known for a beautilful walking trails, one lying along the shore from Viðfjörður to Stuðla and Barðsnes (app. 3 hrs walk). This path follows for the most part an old track. A bridge lies over the river Viðfjarðará.
Viðfjörður was known in the 19th century, as a ghostly place. Strange incidents were reported to happen, enkindling eerie stories on the Viðfjörður phenomenons. A popular 20th-century Icelandic author, Þórbergur Þórðarson, described some of the ghostly goings-on at Viðfjörður decades ago, in one of his books.
