Itinerary description
The last day - and everyone is longing for fresh food . . . even dreaming about a pint of ale. An old, narrow sheep-path to walk under Uxatindar , but the hill is quite steep there. Following the "road" after reaching the hut in Skaelingar, and taking the shortest way to Hólaskjól is an option - buses go up there and the camping site is fine. (A real skyfall of rain prevented photographing.)
One thing to remember: I did this some years ago. The glacier has been melting and the rivers move their path. Where you find rivers on your map, there might not be a river - and there might be a river where the map shows none. This was the case when I did this tour - and this is still the case.
