Askja Dyngjufell Askja Trail Day 3

This trail starts at Askja-parking (Vikraborgir), crosses the Askja caldera, climbs up to the pass Jónsskarð. After the pass the way proceeds down to Dyngufell-hut, leads over several terraces, broad snowfields, boulders and steep slopes. Due to the dense fog and the extensive snowfields I couldn't follow the marked path continuously and had to find my own way.

Siglunes

This hike starts at the bottom of Siglufjörður. We follow the eastern shoreline to the lighthouse in Selvík. The path to the lighthouse passes the ruins of the Evanger herring factory that was destroyed in an avalanche 1919. The path is partly trough moorland and was particularly wet now after the heavy rainfalls in the last weeks. North of the lighthouse the so called "skriður" (rock slides) begin. There are several ravines to cross with steep slides between. The path is partly marked with iron bars, but it is relatively far between the bars so a gps track is recommended. In some of the more difficult ravines, there are chains to hold onto. The stretch between the lighthouse and the tip of the Siglunes peninsula is only for experienced vertigo free hikers. We put up our tent at Reyðará-river/farm and continued the day after. The Nesdalur valley is deep but without any difficulties. In the bottom of the valley the path is (poorly) marked up to the Kálfsdalur mountain pass. From the pass the slope down Kálfsdalur valley is clearly visible down to the lighthouse again.

Askja Thorvaldstindur No Summit

We tried to get to the top of Þorvaldstindur (1516 m) mountain starting from Vikraborgir Car Park where people leave the car to get to Viti. Unfortunately we had to turn around about 400 meters before the summit because we found the ridge too steep and difficult. Starting from the car park and after a few flat kilometres we get to Viti where you can get down to the crater and have a swim in hot water. We make a left here and we start going up slowly until we reach the ridge. Up until here the path is well marked since we are following the track that goes to Dreki campsite. From here onwards there is no path marked. We try to stay on the ridge as much as possible to avoid ups and downs although it is not always possible. You have to be careful on this part since there could be landslides and also there is no one to help you. After quite a few hours of walking on the ridge we get to the final part of the ridge that consists of black rocks. We start going up this part but after a few meters things get tougher and we decide to turn around. Although we didn't get to the summit we enjoyed really great view most of the way. Maybe if more people follow this route and it becomes more popular they end up installing some fixed ropes or chains in order to make the last bit easier to reach the summit.

Kerahnjukur Hringur

Excellent route in the Trollaskagi area along narrow ridges and multiple peaks. Highlight is the Kerahnjukur peak which offers some breathtaking views over the northern part of Trollaskagi and Eyjafjordur area. Ice axe and crampons highly recommended, even in summer.

Holar Vidinesdalur Ellidi Fjall

A short hiking trail (17 km) from Hólar í Hjaltadal, to Víðinesdalur then on top of mountain Elliði, down the "easiest" canyon to hut Fjall.

Holtsdalur

A valley in Fljót that lies in direction to the mountain pass Ólafsfjarðarskarð (730 m). Now, in the end of June, the snow has just recently melted in the valley and it is relatively wet. I parked at the garbage containers south of the Brúnastaðir-river. Then I walked over the river to the north side and followed first a gravel road and then a sheep path and kept to the hill to be above the moor. I turned when I came to the river in the bottom of the valley and followed the river back. My battery ran out on the way back. I recommend following the river rather than keeping to the hill. The valley is very beautiful, with lots of vegetation that is characteristic for the Troll Peninsula, e.g. fern allies, ferns, orchids and all kinds of heather.

Hvanndalir Gjain Fossdalur Kleifar

This is the last trail of a three days hike from Siglufjörður via Siglunes, Nesdalur, Pútuskörð, Víkurbyrða, Hvanndalir, Gjáin, Fossdalur to Kleifar in Ólafsfjörður. There are two ways to pass the mountains that surround Hvanndalir to reach Kleifar. This trail tracks the so called "short way" via the mountain pass Gjáin. The other way is called the "longer way" and although it is longer in distance the difference in time is supposedly not much. This "short trail" reported here is very steep on both sides of the mountain pass. It is considered easier when there is snow in the pass, but this time we used a line to ascend the last 60 m up to the pass. I do not recommend this trail unless with a local guide.

Skardsdalur Dalaskard Skjaldargil

The hike starts at the ski area in Skarðsdalur. We walk up the ski slopes and head north of Siglufjarðarskarð-mountainpass. Above the end of the uppermost skilift we continue north to a terrace in the landscape called Grashólabrúnir. From the mountain ridge up above Grashólabrúnir we have a great view over the northern mouth of Skagafjörður. We continue north to Dalaskarð mountainpass, where people in older times passed to go to Siglufjörður e.g. to attend mass. From Dalaskarð there is a marked trail down along Snóksá-river ending at the horse staples in Siglufjörður.

Askja Volcano Round Trip

The best trip in Áskja region started at Dreki campsite. Following the yellow sticks you climb up to Áskja caldera ridge. From this part is nice view to Herdubreid and you can see a lot of amazing rocky formations. From the ridge you can see Oskjuvatn lake, and you have 2 km to Viti lake, which have around 25C and is a nice place for take a breake and swim. The final part is following mountain road, with nice views to lavafields.

Valadalur

Botnaleid Siglo Fljot

Starting at the water reserve area in Hólsdalur Siglufjörður, we follow the river Blekkilsá up to a sort of basin in the mountain slope, called Botnar. Today there was snow there although we're well into August. We continue to the mountain pass called Botnaleiðarskarð. From there we have a great view over Siglufjörður to the north and to Fljót to the southwest. Today we had a look all the way to the west-fjords. There was also a lot of snow on the way down, so we were able to slide half of the way down. This route is an absolute gem. It is marked, but there is no painting on the bars any more and some of them are broken or with too long distance in between, so they cannot be seen. Thus it is a must to have a gps-track.

Iceland Trek Day 01 2016 08 13 From North To South

It's part of a 20 days hike. Beware it's not the normal north south Iceland Hike. It's mostly offtrail, there are one extremly difficult river to cross and 20km on a glacier. There are a few dangers, I put tag on the track, but I'm not sure it's 100% acurate, because I made it from memory. I also put tag for water, but in case of water from snow it doesn't mean it will work for you too. In any case I'am not responsable if anything happen to anyone who follow this track. If you have question don't hesitate. Link of the video of the Hike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fIwiThG_qM&t=16s

Askja Walk

I recorded only the return. Little walk beginning of August with close to 0C, snow and a little wind...

Braedrafell Askja Dreki Askja Trail Day 2

From Bræðrafell following the marked path to Askja. In the beginning you have to cross several blocklava-flows; if it rains that's rather exhausting. Later you walk through an desertic area of aa-lava, boulders and dust, in parts following an old jeep-track, till you reach the insurmountable lava-flow from 1961, that you have to compass. There's no drinking water on the way. The last 3 km I got a lift by the ranger.

Maelifellshnjukur Spring Early Summer Winter Trail

Mælifellshnjúkur (1138 m) is one of the most imposing mountains of Skagafjörður, Northern Iceland, from where you can see far into the highlands of Iceland. If it is still too early to drive 756 road (due to thawing soil or winter conditions) and you want to climb this mountain (or you want a little more challenging trail than official one) but don't want to go 8 km to the starting point of the official trail, you can park your car at the crossroads of roads 751 and 756, walk the road 756 for about 4 km along the fence, turn at the end of it and follow it up the mountain through narrow ridge. From this point you have approx. 3 km hike one way on relatively easy terrain, the only difficulty is narrow ridge with loose stones at about 800 m a.s.l. The trip was 8 hours in total. Walking the 756 road took us 1 hour one way and we had few breaks for photos and snacks so the climb itself (from the end of the fence) should be approx. 5 hours at leisurely pace, both ways.

Drekagill Viti

Extraordinary walk with outstanding views, geological spots (hotspots, sulfuric steams...) The path is marked all way with yellow sticks. Not recommended if foggy days. Beware of steep slopes

Walk Around Hraunvatn

You can park near the farm Hals just off the main road. From there is it about 30 minutes walking uphill to the start of the hike. What makes this hike slightly challenging is that the path is not always obvious, there are several river crossings and walks through swampy terrain which may get your shoes wet. It was also not obvious how to get back from the other side of the lake - it looked like we needed to cross a relatively big river, but after quite a bit of scouting we discovered you can simply walk around it (as per the tracking map). Note: the lake looks much bigger on the offline Iceland map in the app than it actually is.

Blamannshattur 23 07 2010

Very easy walk on a considerably high mountain on Icelandic scale. Went in the evening to see the sunset. Calm and nice weather

Apollo Landing Roundtrip Askja Volcano

Trail to the places, where NASA tested lunar rover. Starting point is at the Dreki mountain hut. You have to go over the Drekagil bridge, turn left and follow the yellow sticks. Trail is well marked, the way back is following F210 mountain rouad.

Iceland Trek Day 02 2016 08 14 From North To South

Hidarfjalls Hriggur

This is a manual copy of my trip for got to turn of my trakker. during this trip the weather got lot more windy had to stepp in to the wind (about 25m/s im gessing). lot of the mounten is not wide less then a meter at plases, and you will need to do climing in a loose rokk. if i ever go this trip in the winter im taking an ice ax for part of it. in my opinion with the wind this is a dangures trip. note i did see a lot of grouse (Rúpa) and even a falcon

Akureyri Kjarnaskogul Park Walk

Short improvised walk through the park kjarnaskogul, starting from kjarnalundur hotel. Can be extended to over 90 mininutes if desired as the park is rather big. There are numerous information pannels with maps, routes and highlights, that can be found in the waypoints pictures

Raudskord

This trail leads from Kleifar in Ólafsfjörður, via the mountain pass Rauðskörð, to Vík in Héðinsfjörður. The track is marked and visible most of the way. The ascent to the mountain pass is steep and with loose scree the last hundred meters. There are two rivers that have to be waded. Apart from that the trail is easy.

Skutustadir Pseudocraters

A loop around the pseudocraters of Skútustaðir isn't the most exciting hike I've done near Mývatn, but it's a very enjoyable hike nonetheless. Pseudocraters are formed when lava flows over marshy ground, trapping water below it.The water heats and turns to steam. The steam escapes through vents, exploding and fragmenting the lava around them to form small craters. These pseudocraters can be found in several groups. Together with the local lake, this makes for a nice environment. The "long" walk takes about one hour and is therefore easy to do.

Halfdanartungur Storaskrida

Herdubreid Braedrafell Askja Trail Day 1

Hiking-path from Thorsteinskáli to Bræðrafell-hut cross through the lavafield of Ódáðahraun. From the north-eastern foothill of Herðubreið I did not follow the marked path around the mountain, but walked directly to Bræðrafell.

Heljardalsheidi Heljardalsheidi

The hiking trail over "Heljardalsheiði“ heath is an old footpath across the Tröllaskagi mountains. The hike is 20 km long with a maximum elevation of around 860 metres. Under standard conditions in the summer it takes 7-8 hours. You will have to wade at least three rivers: one is the glacial river "Kolbeinsdalsá“ (water temp: 2-3°C). Water volume in the rivers depends on air temperature and water depth can go from knee to waist. It is difficult to get mobile phone connection in this area so take that into consideration when plannig this hike. Organizing a car pickup from the hut "Fjall“ in Kolbeinsdalur is a good option. Remember that road #767 to the hut in Kolbeinsdalur is a gravel road, so it takes time driving (follow sign "Fjall“) from Holar to Kolbeinsdalur. It is possible to drive further up the Kolbeinsdalur valley, but the road is only passable for jeeps beyond the hut "Fjall“.

Bolugil

Grjota

Irafell Ad Grimsstodum

Grjotagja To Hverfjall

The trails starts on the parking lot of Grjótagjá. When crossing the street the path is found easily and leads through beautiful and scenic landscapes to Hverfjall visitor center and parking lot. When we did the hike it was really calm on the trail and we saw only one other couple doing it at the same time. At the parking lot this (obviously) changes drastically. The ascend to the top of Hverfjall, one of the largest tefra craters on earth, is easy and the path is solid. The views from the top are beautiful, but the wind can be quite strong even for Icelandic standards.

Studlagil

Caminadeta amb uns paratges brutals! THE BASALT CANYON Studlagil Canyon is the nature dimond at “Efri-Jökuldalur” and has become a popular site to visit, particularly after the hydroelectric plant Kárahnjúkavirkjun was built 2007. The section of the river which is named Stuðlagil (Basalt Columns) is considered to have one of Iceland’s largest collections of basalt columns on land. Today, the river itself is hardly comparable to former times, when it was a gushing glacial river transporting tonnes of sediment. This is because the river was re-directed with Kárahnjúkar dam. The canyon is 500 m long and with 20-30 m basalt columns on both side of the river.

Asparvikurdalur Hallardalur Trail Along Waterfalls

No trail in this hike, but the orientation is not difficult. Go along the Fossá River to the end of the valley, then turn left and head down to the parking lot at Hallardalur just outside Hotel Laugarhól

Grimsey Full Circle Trail

A full circle tour of the island Distance: About 10 km (6.2 miles). Time: Approximately 6 hrs. Terrain: Gravel road, tracks and paved road in the village Start by the harbor and go towards the airport and across the Arctic Circle. The path follows the cliffs of Básavík, walkers should take good care not to go too near the edge as the nest burrowing of the puffins has made the ground loose. Continue along the tracks to the northern most point of the island, Fótur (Eyjafótur) and then on to the eastern high cliffs. This path runs all the way to the lighthouse on the southern end of the island. From the lighthouse take a short detour to the southernmost part of the island where you find the Century Stone dated 1717. Return back to the road and cross the island to the western side of it. Here one can enjoy the view of basalt columns along the coastline. Just right before the house Borgir, return back to the road and follow it back to the village and back to the starting point. There is plenty of opportunity for wildlife and landscape photography during this hike. Remember to bring some refreshments and water along with you!

Eggjarnar Tunguhlid Stapi

Sellandafjall Gardur Myvatn Askja Trail Day 6

The trip leads from the western flank of Sellandafjall on a jeep-track to the farm buildings of Garđur at the southern end of Mývatn (close to Skútustaðir).

Reykjahlid Grjotagja Iceland

Вельмі лёгкі шпацыр ад аўтастаянкі да даволі цікавага месца - пячоры з вадой Stóragjá (у ёй я плавал) і Grjótagjá (толькі зазірнулі - боло баязліва далей уваходзіць). Трэк намаляваны штучна паводле пахода, які адбыўся ў чэрвені 2014 года (фотоздымкі таксама таго часу). Увесь маршрут адбыўся за 2 гадзіны. A very easy walk from the parking lot to a rather interesting place - the Stóragjá water cave (I swam in it) and Grjótagjá (we only peeked in - it was too scary to go further). The track is artificially drawn according to a hike that took place in June 2014 (photos are also from that time). The entire route was completed in 2 hours.

Vikurbyrda Hvanndalir

This trail is a part of a three days hike from Siglufjörður via Siglunes, Pútuskörð, Héðinsfjörður, Víkurbyrða, Hvanndalir, Gjáin to Kleifar. The original plan was to walk the shore from Músadalir in Héðinsfjörður to Hvanndalir but conditions were unfavorable so this was a plan B for reaching Hvanndalir from Héðinsfjörður. The slope up to Víkurbyrða is steep but once the pass is reached the way down is relatively simple.

Gardshyrna Og Audnahyrna

The hike starts at the farm Garður. It goes straight up slope heading for the mountain edge Garðshyrnan. The ground is partly relatively loose and steep. On Garðshyrnan we have a beautiful look over the lake Ólafsfjarðarvatn on the east side and down to the mouth of Skeggjabrekkudalur valley to the northwest. We continued along the edge to the next peak, Auðnahyrna. The mountain edge is narrow with steep slopes on both sides. On the way there is a stone cairn and we assumed that was the peak Auðnahyrna, however according to maps the real thing is a bit further in 805 m height but we only reached 640 m. Anyway, a great moderately easy or moderately difficult hike, depending on whether one is afraid of heights, with a great view in all directions.

Thorvaldsdalur Spring Trip

With the snow this was lot harder than i expected. specially when the rivers where only half covered with snow and at risk of braking. btw 0 phone connection so be save.
