Itinerary description

The Reykjavegur hiking trail - Part 1 - From Nesjavellir power station to road nr.1

Don't be confused. It"s more an idea then proper marked long distance trail. There is no uniform marks. First you are walking on green trail , after 200m , keep to red trail , after 3 km keep to blue trail . the last 4 km is not marked (asphalt road )
ATTENTION ! in summer 2019 authorities slightly change path so gpx is not correct on approx 1 km
