    Nice walk but there's no path on the half of it. I don't recommend it for families and people not used descent steep slopes or walk through big rocks. On the other hand, the views are magnificent.

    Great trail and the view is outstanding, wouldn´t want to go this route though in fog or wind. I recommend to walk on Mt. Skrælingur on the way, it´s safer than to take a short cut in the snow. Just be careful.
