The best time to visit the Westfjords, including Fossfjörður, is during the summer months (June to August) when the weather is more favorable, and the days are long. During this time, the area is accessible, and the surrounding landscape is lush and green. In winter, the region can be snow-covered and difficult to access, but the barn under a blanket of snow adds another layer of beauty to the place.
Getting There
Reaching Fossfjörður and the abandoned barn requires some effort due to the remote location. The roads in the Westfjords can be challenging, especially in bad weather, so a 4x4 vehicle is recommended. However, the journey is part of the experience, offering breathtaking views of one of Iceland’s most beautiful and isolated regions.
