Experience the summer bloom of lupins above the coastal village

The Vík lupin fields in South Iceland are a spectacular natural experience. During the summer months of June and July, vast fields of North American lupin come into full bloom here, colouring the landscape with their violet hues. From here you enjoy a stunning view of the coastal village of Vík í Mýrdal, its picturesque church and the impressive coastline. The lupins cover several hectares and provide a perfect backdrop for both nature photographers and hikers.

The fields are easy to reach via the Ring Road, Iceland’s main traffic artery, as they are located close to the southernmost point of the island. Parking is available, although charges may apply at times. A short walk takes you directly into the flowering fields. The viewpoint is an ideal stop when passing through, as it is only a few minutes from Vík and also close to other sights such as the black sand beach of Reynisfjara.
