Skagafjordur Thordarhofdi Island Thordarhofdi Or Cape Thord
Located in the Skagafjordur (8km North from Hofsós village), and just like its twin sisters, Drangey and Málmey, Þórðarhöfði is an early Ice Age volcanic island with vertical high cliffs, rich flora and loads of sea birds. The difference is that Þórðarhöfði ("Thordarhofdi " or "Cape Thord", in a rough translation) is attached to land, by a thin gravel and boulder ridge of 2,5km long. You don't need a boat to reach it, just a good pair of hiking shoes (walking in the pebbles and rounded stones might be tedious). The imposing vertical 150-metre-high cliffs on the Eastern seaward side of Þórðarhöfði, with its impressive basaltic formations, are SPECTACULAR and definetely worth the visit. This is the main interest of the walk. Moreover, you will enjoy a splendid panorama of the fjord and the Tindastoll mountain range, on the other banks. Note that there is no really marked trail on the island, just follow the sheep footpaths nearby the cliffs in order to reach the eastern slopes and thereafter the summit (called Herkonuklettu, alt. 204m). It may seem obvious but do not get too close to the edges, especially when it's windy. Last but not least, there is definitely not 867m of elevation ! It's a mistake of Wikiloc, count around 250m.

Saudarkrokur Mount Tindastoll 995M
The Tindastóll mountain range is a kinda iconic summit (alt. 990m) extending for 18km along the coast on the western side of the Skagafjordur Bay. Located in the North of the town Sauðárkrókur, its climbing is rather easy (though there is no real marked trail) and it offers stunning panoramic view all over the fjord, islands and mountains. Moreover, according to local legends, the mountain and its caves are believed to be inhabited by an array of sea monsters, trolls and giants. Beware of it ;) We suggest to start the ascent at the Tindastóll Ski Area (alt. 400m), which significantly reduces the way to the top if you begin from road 744. No signposted trail here but the way is... up. Easy parking at the ski base, just in front of the start.

Skagafjordur Bolugil Waterfalls And Canyon
The "Bólugil canyon" is located 18 km south east off Varmahlíð, in the Skagafjordur. The waterfall is visible from the circular road 1. It is a beautiful gorge where the river Bóluá falls from about 180m height and shapes 6 waterfalls in a row, 4 of them are really impressive. The walls are high and steep and the colors of the stones vary from brown and ocher to red. On the top, you will enjoy a huge panorama of the vast plain of the Héraðsvötn river and the surrounding mountains. The imposing 150-metre-high waterfall is SPECTACULAR and worth the visit from both sides of the river. This trail propose to admire the cascade in a circle around both edges of the canyon. Differences of flora are important from one side to the other. On the right bank, you get grassy grasslands but moss, lichen and fir on the other. There is no marked trail with signs, but the way up is easy to figure out. At one point, you will have to cross the river Bóluá at ford. At one km upstream from the falls, it is feasible without much problems. The river takes its name from the sagas. The legend tells that a woman witch Troll called Bóla lived in a cave of the canyon and stole and threatened the neighbouring farmers. Her story ended when a brave shepherd drowned her in a pool in the Bóluá river.


Holshyrna
Hólshyrna is the characteristic moutain for Siglufjörður, right in the bottom of the fjord, between the two valleys Skútudalur to the east and Hólsdalur to the west. We start the hike at the parking lot just in front of the tunnel to Héðinsfjörður. We follow the road to the hot water drill holes and continue up along the Skútudalsá-river. There are several waterfalls in the river. We cross the river canyon on a snow bridge and turn west into a basin in the landscape called Saurbæjarskál. From the we ascend to the mountain ridge leading northwards to the highest point (687 m) from where we have an amazing view over Siglufjörður and to the surrounding mountains. The descend is a bit tricky. First we follow the mountain ridge to the north and then take almost a u-turn on a ramp avoiding the steep rocks. It is advisable to follow a gps track to begin with. Soon we reach the vegetation and walk in the slope of the mountain towards the northern foot of the mountain.

Almannavegur Yfir Odadahraun
No water no clear path no people not so many good places for tent the idea of this hike + cairns numbers taken from book : Ingvar Teitsson - Almannavegur yfir Ódáðahraun

Trippaskal


Blaskogavegur Trail Husavik To Asbyrgi
This is a route from the whale watching town of Húsavík to Ásbyrgi, where there are many hikes in the Jökulsárgljufur National park. The first section is along a quiet tarmac road leading to a geothermal power station, it passes a lake and in July I saw acres of lupins in flower. The route leaves the road for the Sæluhúsmúli hut, I found the door open to this very tidy hut where you can shelter and sleep, but keep it clean, removing boots at the door. Instead of using the hut I wild camped some distance later. After the hut you continue on vehicle tracks until the Bláskógavegur splits off as a path. For the next 20 kilometres the path continues in a WNW direction, crossing vehicle tracks and in one section following them. I found it mainly used by horses (it is an ancient packhorse route) and sheep. Vegetation is mainly dwarf birch, which grows to maybe 30 centimetres in hummocks, there are a few rock outcrops and an area of larger birch trees. The path ends at Undirveggur, after which the route follows a gravel road in an easterly direction passing various farms, and then a tarmac road and finally the main 85 road to Ásbyrgi, where there is a cafe and shop at the petrol station, a National Park visitor centre and a campsite. Note that there are no water sources on the route or places for food apart from at Húsavík and Ásbyrgi.

Mulakolla
The hike starts at the parking at Brimnes. We follow the river Brimnesá on the right hand side (keep to the south of the river). Today we had so much good snow to walk on that we could go more or less straight to Gvendarskál and from there to the north upon the peak. From Múlakolla there is a great view over Eyjafjörður, to the island Grímsey in the north and over the spectacular mountains as long to the west as to Fljót in Skagafjörður.

Maelifellshnjukur

44 2022 Dimmuborgir Climbing Hverfjall Volcano
10kms We have started to record only after we reached the edge of the volcano. We started to follow the yellow path for a while to admire the lava 'sculptures' and then diverged to take the route to the Hverfjall and climbed it taking the challenging path on our right. The way was very steep and slippery due to the loose gravel covering the volcano. When we finally reached the top we were greeted with a stunning view into the crater and the black lanscape surrounding the volcano. We walked around the edges of the crater and descended the slope on the same side.

Reykjaheidi
This trail begins in Böggvistaðadalur, Dalvík and leads to the bottom of the valley, over mountain pass Heiðarskarð and down Heiðardalur valley ending on mountain road Lágheiði. There are two rivers to wade, otherwise the trail is easy but long.


Holar Ellidi Holar
One day trip to the top of one of the nearby mountains. We decided to do it from different side (clockwise) than other trails shared here on wikiloc and instead of going to Fjall, we came back to the starting point in Hólar. The path is relatively easy but marked only to the bridge. After we passed it we followed sheep/horse tracks to the W / SW side. As it was getting late we shortened our way back going down sooner than it's shown on other tracks on this site (it was rather muddy though) and then just followed cart track along the river back to the bridge and marked trail. The trip took us about 9 hours 24 minutes with all the little beaks for photos, clothing, looking at map, etc.

Tindastoll 23 05 2010
Did this one with an old schoolmate of mine, Siggi Teppi. Started about 20:00 and as we climbed up the fog came in from the sea and filled the valleys until just the peaks could be seen from above. Nice view, sunny and calm on the top

Kaldbakshorn 21 07 2010
A very easy hiking to a beautiful mountain, often surrounded by fog. Took me just within 2 hours to go up and down.

Kotagil

Skagafjordur Grettislaug Glerhallavik Stroll
Located on the western coast of Skagafjordur (18km North from Sauðárkrókur), this lovely and easy stroll take place between the grassy shores of Grettislaug (that got its name from the main character of one of Iceland’s most famous Sagas, Grettis Saga), much appreciated by the locals as a bathing spot with hot springs, and Glerhallavík, a small bay below high cliffs, which is also a protected nature area. In between, you'll walk along a little pond with many seabirds (Arctic terns, Eiders, Redshanks,...) and a further a nice fine black sandy beach where you can find green-flecked chalcedony pebbles that litter the soil. It boasts splendid views of the surrounding Tindastoll mountains, the Skaga fjord, including of Drangey Island, and the opposite Tröllaskagi peninsula with its snowy tops. Note that there is no really marked trail, just follow the sheep and horses footpaths nearby the sea and the cliffs. In such a beautiful scenery, a jump into the hot spring pools after the walk might be healthy and relaxing. Enjoy it! It is a private property, meaning you will have to pay a small charge to enter. There are changing facilities on site, and the water is approximately 40 degrees Celcius (102 degree Fahrenheit).

Dyngjufell Botni Askja Trail Day 4
The track leads from Dyngjufell-hut to Botni; at the beginning on a marked jeep-track through an area of grey ash and pebbles, later over expanded fields of Pāhoehoe-Lava, where it is sometimes hard to find the track, which is marked by cairns. Apart from a small stream near Dyngjufell-hut and the spring of Suðurá near Botni there is no drinking water on the way.

Kvikabekkjardalur Olafsfjardarskard Olafsfjardardalur Fljotum
The hike starts on the road above the summerhouses Þverá. This trail follows the gravel road leading to Skarðsdalsá. Then follow the Skarðsdalsá-river upwards until seeing the path and green marking bars. After that the path is well visible although many of the markings are broken. One of the brooks was just to wide and waterrich for me to to hop and had to be waded. The slope up to the mountain pass is covered with snow and relatively steep but it was not difficult to ascend in the snow. From the mountain pass there is a great good view over the mountains on the east side of Lágheiði and to Fljót. Again the slope on the west side of the pass was covered with snow and no problem passing it. Keep to the north of the river to avoid having to wade the river from Holtsdalur entering Brúnastaðaá-river. There are some markings on the way down and most of the time one can see the sheep path. The hike is not technically difficult but it is long considering the different landscape (tussocks, moore, snow, slides, brooks).

Bakrangi 13 04 2011
This mountain has many names, I´ve heard they´re up to 14, all depending upon from where you´re looking at it. Few to be named are Galti (seen from the ocean), Ógöngufjall (seen from east), Bakrangi (north west) Bæjarfjall (seen from south) and Svörtubjörg is also a known name. The view from the top is spectacular. All the Skjálfandi bay including the islands Háey & Lágey, Lundey and Grímsey can be seen. The view to Grímesy is especially good. Think this is great place to be on 21st of June when the day is longest and watch the sun go down, slightly touch the horizon and then go up again.

Dreki To Viti 08 Aug 2009
Hiking from FÍ hut Dreki over the mountains "Dyngjufjöll" with great view over Öskjuvatn and Askja. Hiked to Víti and from there to the parking lot.

Orlygsstadir

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.


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.

Iceland Trek Day 03 2016 08 15 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

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“.

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!

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.
