Stop by for a monthly exhibition programme, artist talks, events, and a store selling local handicrafts, Reykjavík Roasters coffee, posters, design objects and more. If you fall in love and decide to move to Pa- treksfjörður, you could also hire a desk in the co-working space on the second floor. Above all else, Húsið proves that one need not be in the big city for some cutting-edge art. Map square: B8 Place: Látrabjarg Route 612 Info: westfjords.is Sitting pretty on the westernmost point of Iceland, Látrabjarg could best be called the avian metropolis of Iceland. A lush green cliff that juts abruptly down more than 400 metres into the Atlantic, Látrabjarg is the perfect place to laze around and watch the puffins dance above your head. Birds in this location are particularly tame, and thus it’s a great location for photography, bird-watching or just general en- joyment. A9 Town: Ísafjörður Info: isafjordur.is The regional capital of the Westfjords is Ísafjörður, an old merchant town that’s definitely worth a visit. It’s the cultural capital of the area, and around the turn of the 20th century, Ísafjörður was the second-biggest town in Iceland, with a history filled with witch trials and industry. Today, it has a population of only 2,600, but despite its location deep in the West- fjords, it remains a lively town with three museums—including the oldest row of houses in Iceland—two bars, and a movie theatre. Its houses are old, and its people proud. C6 Café: Gamla Bakaríið Aðalstræti 25, Ísafjörður Tel: +354 456 3226 Gamla Bakaríið deserves a mention for being one of the oldest bakeries in all of Iceland, not just the West- fjords. It’s a great place to stop for breads, pastries, and baked goods. But they are especially famed for their kringlur: pretzel-like rolls fla- vored with cumin-seeds. If you’re looking to get a taste of old Ice- land, sit down for a coffee, cake, and some prime people-watching. Don’t forget to take a picture with the ancient car parked in front. C6 Place: Djúpavík Strandir, Route 643 Info: djupavik.is Djúpavík is a far-flung and breath- taking hamlet around a rough dirt track deep in the Westfjords—be sure to check ahead that the road is serviced because it's truly sketchy. A handful of houses and a rusting shipwreck stand nestled next to a huge, crumbling factory building that seems like a surreal vision in the depths of the Strandir coast. The factory was abandoned when the fish vanished, and now serves as a workshop, museum and gal- lery; the workers’ quarters are now a cosy and informal family-run ho- tel. F7 Museum: Museum of Witchcraft & Sorcery Hólmavík, Tel: +354 897 6525 Info: galdrasyning.is A weathered wooden structure with a turf roof, Hólmavík’s main tourist attraction may look under- whelming, but like its subject, it’s got some magic. The museum’s most famous acquisition is a replica of a pair of “necropants”: trousers made of human skin, which alleg- edly dispense gold form the crotch for those brave or psychotic enough to make a pair. If that tickles your occult bone, indulge your morbid side with a visit.
