The trail from Örlygsstaðir leads from the parking lot to the memorial sign for the battle of Örlygsstaðir. The Battle of Örlygsstaðir was a historic battle fought by the Sturlungar against the Ásbirningar and the Haukdælir clans in northern Iceland. The battle was part of the civil war that was taking place in Iceland at the time between various powerful clans during the time known as the Age of the Sturlungs.
The path continues along the fence, following the sheep gate up until the river, crossing the river and going further up the hill. Once it finds the second river, it follows along it‘s side up until the waterfall. The track ends at a viewpoint for the waterfall and returns the same way. Be aware of sheep or horses running freely in the area.
Der Weg beginnt am Parkplatz neben der Route 1 und führt zuerst zum Memorial der Schlacht von Örlygsstaðir. Diese historische Schlacht zwischen dem Sturlungar Clan gegen die Ásbirningar und den Haukdælir clans in Nordisland. Die Schlacht war Teil des Bürgerkrieges zwischen verschiedenen mächtigen Clans in Island der zu dieser Zeit stattfand. Der Pfad führt durch Schafsspuren am Zaun entlang bis zum Fluss, und dann weiter den Berg hinauf. Man folgt dann dem zweiten Fluss bis zum Wasserfall. Der Pfad ended an einem Aussichtspunkt für den Wasserfall und denselben Weg zurück. Freilaufende Pferde und Schafe sind zu beachten. Bitte schließen Sie alle Tore hinter sich.
