Grundarfjarðarbær Essentials
Grundarfjarðarbær is a coastal town on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, dominated by the 463-meter Kirkjufell mountain and its tiered waterfall, Kirkjufellsfoss. The area features the 70-meter high Grundarfoss waterfall and the Kolgrafafjörður fjord, a site known for massive herring runs and winter orca sightings.
