Getting there

Walking

Start your journey at the Seydisfjordur town center, where you will find the iconic blue church, Seyðisfjarðarkirkja. From there, head east along the main road (Þjóðvegur) towards the fjord. Continue walking for about 1.5 kilometers (approximately 20 minutes), enjoying the scenic views of the mountains and the fjord. As you walk, keep an eye out for the signs leading to Tvísöngur. The path will take you through a residential area and eventually lead you to a trailhead. Follow this trail, which will lead you up a gentle slope to the sculpture park.

Alternatively, from the town center, you can take the path that leads along the edge of the fjord. This path is well-marked and offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape. After about 1 kilometer (roughly 15 minutes), you will reach a fork. Take the left path that leads towards the hill where Tvísöngur is located. This route is slightly more challenging but offers a more immersive experience with nature.
