The term "Picturesque" must have been invented for ~Kirkjufell! Visited last summer, and here in Winter we had to wander down to see it with ice and snow. 2hrs of photographs later ..... This is a place you simply cannot taking pictures of. It is so incredibly beautiful. Always worth a look in any weather at any time of year.

This is one of the most beautiful mountain in the Snaefellness peninsula especially with the northern lights jumping over it!

The most photogenic mountain in Iceland! Amazing to see under the aurora and well worth a visit. Easy access ad the frozen waterfalls are spectacular.

I fell in love with this place, the views from just outside the town are amazing and the view over Kirkjufell from Kirkjufellsfoss (waterfall) are surreal! A must see for sunset!!

Known as the 'perfect' mountain it provides a great sight for the eyes! Be it snow, grass or nothing..

Not sure why trip advisor does not have a listing for the waterfall on it’s own, but it doesn’t. So reviews of the mountain are meh… It’s different - Looks more like something from Machu Picchu than Iceland. The stunner is the falls though. They are gorgeous! Hard to miss the falls, because they are right on the road. Nice small parking area and well maintained path that takes you all the way around the falls. It’s an easy path and anyone can do it. I actually highly suggest you walk to the top where a horse farm abuts the falls. The horses are beautiful. Grazing behind the backdrop of the mountains and the falls, they look even more majestic.This is simply a nature lover and photographer’s dream stop. It doesn’t matter what angle you take a photo from, it is sure to be a winner. This doesn’t seem as if it is visited very frequently by tourists and yet is beautiful. One of my very favorite waterfalls in Iceland due to the fact that it is accessible (you can get quite close to it), interactive and surrounded by amazing beauty in every direction.

Great, iconic place to see the Northern Lights. This is privately owned land but the owners are kind enough to allow us all to enjoy the falls and view. The Icelandic government has recently helped restore the falls by adding gravel paths and cleaning up what had turned into a muddy mess. This is one of the most beautiful and most photographed parts of Iceland. Don't listen to all those photographers droning on about how overshot it is. It's a great place to visit and share an experience. Only five or ten minutes from town too, so you can head out to get away from light pollution and watch the Aurora dance at night.

I took the 4 buses up from Reykjavík to Grundarfjördur at night and when I arrived nothing was open in the town. So I went to bed hungry and annoyed. But when I woke up the next morning to see Kirkjufell from my window I was blown away. It made it all worth while. I walked right up to the foot of the mountain and saw the waterfall. Very photogenic but mainly just from the angle of the waterfall. The weather was shockingly bad (wind and rain) which left me stuck out there for a while but a kind local gave me a lift back into town. Definitely stop here if you're passing through the west fjords etc but I don't think you need to go out of your way to come here.

Probably every person with a camera has taken this photo while passing this mountain. I have a few nice ones, but the trek to get there (after the whole peninsula) was more than our kids could take. The neighboring town has a few moderate coffee stops, and will settle the kids if you have some. It is a good walk to stretch the legs if the weather is good. http://m2explore.wordpress.com

Before we left for Iceland, Kirkjufell was at the top of our list. We figured that seeing the Northern Lights there would be incredible, and hiking it would be great too! But we were far from "wow-ed" by the mountain. Let me explain.We stayed in west Iceland, just about a half hour drive from Kirkjufell for two nights. When we were passing through the town right before the mountain, we thought we were actually in the wrong place. As we drove up closer, we had to look at the information stand to confirm that we were actually looking at Kirkjufell, and not some smaller, less significant hill. The day we visited was extremely windy, which also made the views a bit less enjoyable. As for all the pictures you see, they are literally taken from one spot. Kirkjufell does not look like that from all angles, and if you can get to the waterfalls, I'm sure it's nice. Don't go out of you way to visit. You're much better off visiting the West Fjords. Really.

This is a very photogenic mountain and worth a stop! When we were there, improvements were being made to the car park and pathways leading to the waterfalls. This will make it even easier to get both waterfalls and mountain in the same picture (refer to my picture). In the near future, you should be able to park opposite the mountain and walk 10 minutes to the second tier of the waterfalls for the best view.

The first view of Kirkufell (Church Mountain) as we came round the bend on Route 1 was jaw-dropping. it is an awesome sight, dominating the bay of Grundarfjordur and overshadowing the town. Apparently the climb up it is not too difficult, but a guide is advisable - organised through the local tourist information centre.

Liked: The awesome view! It was betting in person than the photos!Disliked: The rain.... Did not attempt to hike up the mountain.

I saw this mountain from quite far away and it wasn't on my plan to stop, but I am very glad I did.It's so iconic, so beautiful. Spend as much time here as you can.

Who hasn't seen this beautiful mountain taking pride of place in Icelandic brochures? We were looking forward to stopping and having walk in the area. We did this twice, mainly because the weather was not so good the first time. The close by falls compliments any pictures you want to take and there is a walk around the base of the mountain. We spent several hours there and enjoyed them very much!
