Itinerary description
Vestrahorn, Iceland
Trail starts easily, through the Viking Village (built as a film set) and along the beach. Gets harder as you go up the hill, lots of spongy moss! The steep descent is the hard part, over "scree" (loose stones and rocks). When we did it, due to cloud, we couldn't see the top from the bottom, and when we were at the top, we couldn't see where we were! Walking poles are helpful, but take care, there are cliffs!

Hallo an alle 🙂
Dieser Trail ist mit schwer eingestuft. Kann mir wer genauere Infos geben? Braucht man ein Seil?
Hi, see my comments above, no you don't need a rope, just be careful!
