Kirkjufell, “the Church Mountain”, has become the landmark of Snæfellsnes in recent years. The erosive powers of the glaciers during the last Ice Age gave this mountain its shape.

On the south coast of the peninsula, there’s a village with only a hotel and a tiny black church called the Búdakirkja that sits alone among a field of lava rocks. It was built on the spot in 1703 and reconstructed in 1987 after a claim by a single member that lobbied to have it back. It has a historic graveyard, a bell and chalice from the time it was erected. Without a doubt, this picturesque chapel has a romantic air about it and is a real attraction to the site
