Gatklettur, also known as “rock gate” or “stone arch”, is a natural formation located near the town of Arnarstapi on the Snæfellsnes peninsula. This rock formation, created by the tireless work of the ocean and the wind, has the shape of an arch that seems to frame the view of the endless sea. When the waves crash against the rocks and break through the arch, they create a dramatic and fascinating spectacle. Gatklettur is a favourite destination for photographers.
The surroundings of Gatklettur are perfect for leisurely walks along the coast. The trail connects the villages of Arnarstapi and Hellnar and offers stunning views of the sea, cliffs and bird colonies. Legend has it that the area is home to ghosts and trolls, which only adds to its mystical atmosphere. There is a similar‘stone bridge’ near Gatklettur, which you can even walk across.
We’ll be happy to create a personalized itinerary.
The best place to park when visiting Gatklettur is at the Bárður Snæfellsás statue, which is located just a few hundred metres on the edge of Arnarstapi.
