Region: Snaefellsnes

GPS: N64°49.384 W23°23.100

About: (Description)
Búðir, an old anchorage, later a trading centre. The 19th century church is unusual, not only in its setting, but also because it was raised by a woman who did not have the support of the church authorities, but special permission from the king in Denmark.

This can be seen on a ring on the church door. Fine views. One of the best sand and shingle beaches in Iceland, good for sea and sun bathing.

How to get there:
Take road no. 54 from Borgarnes. There is an exit to Búðir about 103 km from Borgarnes.
