Grundarfjordur Cruise Port Guide: DIY Kirkjufell Tour | Norwegian Star
Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
We'll give you some useful info from our do-it-yourself walking tour of the town made famous by Game of Thrones, including visiting one of the top waterfalls in Iceland.
It's a fairly easy, flat 1 and 1/2 mile, or 2 and 1/2 km walk to the waterfalls, and it took us a little over an hour as we often slow down to appreciate the scenery.
The views and ambience were definitely rewarding as we trekked past seas of grass and summer flowers.
Framing it against the Game of Thrones Arrowhead Mountain creates one of the most impressive postcard views in Iceland.
