Vatnsdalur from North to South
Vatnsdalur from South to North We will be happy to provide information about walkingtrails. From short and more easy walks to hiking which takes a whole day. Personal guide available if requested.
My favorit hikingtrail is to walk with the canyon of Vatnsdalsá. There are many beautiful waterfalls in a row, you will be surrounded by unspoiled nature which is so overwhelming that you will never forget!

The trail is a path made by sheep through the centuries which follows the river

The canyon of Vatnsdalsá
We can help you to get acces to troutfishing. Our river Vatnsdalsá is the river in Iceland where you have the best chance of catching enourmous salmon. For more information visit the homepage: www.vatnsdalsa.is With short notice it is possible to fish in small rivers or little lakes, you will find shining trout in them.

When you are out in nature you will see many different birds. If you are interested in birds on Iceland you can check out: www.fuglar.is The wideness of the highlands are impressive. From our area you have easy acces to this area. Once upp the view is unbelievable. You will see three glaciers, mountains which are situated in Borgarfjörður, Skagafjörður or even more east.
