Description
Arriving at Seyðisfjörður, Eastfjords, Iceland (Panorama)
Photographed by Julia Apostolova.
Seyðisfjörður is a town and municipality in the Eastfjords of Iceland at the innermost point of the fjord of the same name.
As of January 2011, the town has 668 inhabitants.
The town of Seyðisfjörður is well known for its old wooden buildings and has remnants of urban street configurations within its urban fabric. There is a camping ground, facilities for campers, hotels, a swimming pool, a library, hospital, post office, liquor store, and other retail activity. Seyðisfjörður also has a vibrant cultural scene with an arts centre, a Technical Museum and local heritage museum and the only two cinemas in the east of Iceland. The LungA art festival takes place in Seyðisfjörður in July and world renowned artist Dieter Roth had a residence and art studio in Seyðisfjörður. The Dieter Roth Academy is centered in the Skaftfell cultural center.
There are several waterfalls in the town. A popular hiking path starts at the town center, following the East bank of the Fjarðará, the river that flows through the center of town. Further up the river there are 25 waterfalls. During the winter, a skiing area is used in Fjarðarheiði mountain pass.
Skálanes nature and heritage centre can be found 17 km (10.56 mi) east of the town. The nature reserve is home to a diverse range of wildlife, as well as catering for visitors and anyone wanting to explore the south side of the Fjord.
Every week the car ferry MV Norröna of Smyril Line comes to Seyðisfjörður from Hirtshals in Denmark and Tórshavn in the Faroe Islands. Until January 2009 it also called at Bergen, Norway and Scrabster, Scotland.
