Adalvik (Aðalvík), deserted Village in a Nature Reserve

Adalvik (Aðalvík), deserted Village in a Nature Reserve

Take a boat trip to Saebol in Adalvik, a peaceful bay, where you can stroll on a deserted beach and enjoy the flowers and birds of Hornstrandir Nature Reserve. 

A cluster of houses and a church are all that remain of the community that was abandoned in 1952. 

Relatives of the families that lived here return in summer so Adalvik is full of life again – for a short while.
