Ride Brjánslækur Ferry, Westfjords, Iceland
Breiðafjörður is a large shallow bay, about 50 km (31 mi) wide and 125 km (78 mi) long, in the west of Iceland. It separates the region of the Westfjords (Vestfirðir) from the Snæfellsnes peninsula to the south
The ferry Baldur offers year-round trips to Brjánslækur, located in Iceland's West Fjords – which are a definite must-visit for anyone seeking to behold Iceland's natural beauty.
Brjánslækur is an age-old manor and parsonage located on the mouth of Vatnsfjörður. Besides a ferry slip and an old shellfish factory, visitors will also find the protected ruins Flókatóftir in Brjánslækur, believed to be the ruins of Hrafna-Flóki's settlement (Hrafna-Flóki was one of Iceland's first settlers).
For anyone interested in visting the West Fjords, the ferry Baldur is a comfortable way to travel. The trip across Breiðafjörður takes around two and a half hours. During the trip, passengers can sit back and enjoy a nice view of the fjord's so-called “innumerable” islands.
It takes about 45 minutes to drive from Brjánslækur to Patreksfjörður, the nearest urban area.
