Látrabjarg–Keflavík Hike

Remote Coastal Trek Along Europe’s Western Edge

The hike from Látrabjarg to Keflavík is a dramatic and remote coastal trek in the Westfjords, offering unparalleled solitude and raw nature. Starting from the towering Látrabjarg cliffs — the westernmost point of Iceland and Europe — the trail follows the wild edge of the continent, high above the crashing waves of the North Atlantic. It passes sea bird colonies (including puffins in summer), hidden coves, grassy plateaus, and ancient lava fields, leading eventually to the abandoned farm at Keflavík, nestled in a quiet bay. The hike is unmarked and challenging in places, best suited for experienced hikers comfortable with navigating in remote terrain. With no facilities and minimal human presence, it offers a rare chance to experience Iceland’s raw wilderness in near-total isolation. It’s not just a hike — it’s an immersion into a wild, weather-shaped world where land and ocean collide.
