Your walk goes up to the mountain slopes above Ísafjörður.

Our guide will show you the plants, named them, and tell you interesting facts about the wild flora and their use in the past and present. You will also learn in an easy way, something about the geologic formation of the Westfjords, while you experience the wonderful view of the fjord and surrounding valleys.
