Grandagarður 2, Reykjavík
Djúpivogur is one of Iceland’s oldest trading ports, a peaceful village of fewer than five hundred residents nestled where the Berufjörður meets the East Fjords coast. Its unhurried pace and magnificent fjord scenery make it a welcome pause on the Ring Road journey through eastern Iceland.
The village is best known for the Eggin í Gleðivík — a permanent open-air artwork by Sigurður Guðmundsson consisting of thirty-four giant granite eggs, each representing a bird species that nests in the area, arranged along the harbour shore. The Langabúð cultural centre, housed in a historic wooden building from 1790, contains a small folk museum and art gallery.
Djúpivogur is accessible year-round on Route 1. The village has a hotel, guesthouse, and a small supermarket. The surrounding coastline offers excellent birdwatching, particularly for puffins and eiders in summer.
