When I have made the Fimmvörđüháls hike few years back Hvannárgil valley seemed to be very very steep and could not see any trail there.
How is the path down to Hvannárgil valley like? Is it easily doable?
I hiked from the Basar hut up the mountain and around in a circular route back down again in the next valley (afraid I don't know the name but it can be seen on my GPS route). Going back down again int his valley was initially quite steep but the trail was still fairly clear. I crossed the glacier river a few times coming down the valley (seen in my image of the soft grass area) and followed the contour path all the way down the valley - eventually exiting near through the Basar huts again. I never actually went to the bottom of this valley however towards the end near the lower part (before reaching Basar hut) I think the valley floor was accessible.
Hope this helps...
yep. that's the one :) thanks.
