A small hamlet located on the western tip of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula known for its picturesque black church and stunning nearby landscapes.
Tips from the community
Find Iceland’s famous black church, Búðir, in the Búðahraun Lava Field: a barren stretch of rocks and grass in Iceland’s Snaefellsnes peninsula. The church’s striking black exterior is painted with pitch to protect against the weather — and it’s everything you could possibly dream of in a moody Icelandic landscape. At roughly 2 hours north of Reyjkavik, the country’s capital, it’s pretty easy to escape up here for a day trip to take in the views.

Also known as the “black church”, it’s dark simplicity makes it seem that much more stunning against the vast landscape especially in winter.

Iceland ✔️
themarvelousmrsm (Josette Faye Mamsaang) The land of fire and ice. We were captivated of how beautiful this country is. Went in November, was raining on some days but still worth seeing the landscapes, waterfalls, etc. We even saw the Northern Lights on our way on the plane, when we were passing Canada. Didn’t get a chance to see the lights while in Iceland due to the ugly weather we had though we still had so much fun exploring it.10 Must-Visit Spots on Iceland’s Snæfellsnes Peninsula
