6. Start exploring the south coast of the Snæfellsnes peninsula with a short stop at Búðir church. The latter is among the three black churches in Iceland, making it an extremely sough spot by photographers. A little further, you find the Búdir hotel. It does happen that every once and a while, seals are spotted in the sea. (60 min)

9. Djúpalónssandur is a black pebble beach where sailors were selected right on the spot long ago t. Men's strength was tested by lifting big rocks (23 to 155 kg) and heavy drifted wood logs and carrying or throwing them as far as possible. Today, we can still see the stones and many records on the shore and the remainder of the rusty shipwreck. The site is kept untouched to connect with history thro (30 min)

You have a fantastic view of the sea, the lava fields, and on a bright day, Reykjavík is on the horizon (45 min)
11. However, the next waterfall you see (Kirkjufellsfoss) is among Iceland's most visited and photographed ones, along with the famous mountain Kirkjufell. The latter one formed 5 to 10 million years ago, and its multi-layered tip provides a unique and majestic look. (80 min)
