Vik i Myrdal Church in Iceland

While you drive towards Vík í Mýrdal from Reykjavik you cannot miss the beautiful white church with the red roof. It is a wooden church built in 1929 up on the hill. It is pretty photogenic especially if you are lucky enough to get a great sunset. You can easily get there by car and enjoy the panoramic view of the town of Vik. You can also view the Reynisfjara black sand beach and the Reynisdrangar basalt sea stacks from up there. Probably the best view of the church is from the road leading into Vik. This is where this photo was taken from. When we visited Vik i Myrdal church it was closed. Nevertheless it is definitely among the churches you must visit when you drive around Iceland. Another church worth visiting is the Black Church of Budir.
