    Several sections across field since there’s not a clear path. The scree is serious stuff running downhill. Enjoy but remember that you are on your own and won’t find much people on this unique trail. Be safe! Details of...

    The trail leaves from the camp site and follows the Jökulsá river. It is reasonably well marked until the first canyon, but then we lost track of it. At the campsite there was a notice that this is a new trail and they a...
