With just under 2,571 inhabitants, Isafjördur is a small, dreamy town and also the economic and administrative center of the Westfjords. It is located in the far northwest of Iceland on a sandbank in the middle of the fjord and is framed by the Kirkjubolsfjall and Eyrarfjall mountains. The landscape with its steep mountain slopes has something mystical about it for me, and I was very excited to explore this small Icelandic town in the bright sunshine and freezing cold. First, I went to the old town, which consists of a handful of wooden houses. In fact, there are so few houses that you can count them on the fingers of one hand. The old town is also home to the Westfjord Heritage Museum, a local history museum that tells the story of the town and fishing. After visiting the old town, I headed to the town center. There are small shops, restaurants, colorful houses, and even a small supermarket. I like the dreamy atmosphere of this small town and treated myself to a delicious cheesecake with blueberries in one of the small cafes. In addition to a cultural center with a library and exhibition rooms, which are housed in the town’s old hospital, there is also an art gallery. The school and education system is exemplary for this small town. There is a music school, a primary school, a secondary school, and since 2005 even a college. Not bad for such a remote region, considering that only about 3% of all Icelanders live in the Westfjords. But back to Isafjördur, the small town that has an equally small market square, where a vintage bakery van stands as an attraction. After a walk through the narrow streets with their sometimes very cute, colorful houses, I came to the cemetery and the ochre-colored concrete church, unspectacular from the outside, beautiful on the inside. The altarpiece was designed by the town’s residents themselves and consists of hundreds of hand-made clay doves attached to the wall with metal rods. Before I forget, Isafjördur has an airport that is very important for Iceland’s internal transport and supply network, as many islands are very difficult to reach. In conclusion, I can only say that Isafjördur is small but beautiful, and the landscape is breathtaking. I have somehow taken this little corner of the world into my heart. It has its own unique charm, and who knows if I will ever see it again.
