1,6 miles one way

Walk 3 miles long round trip that permits to admire two beautiful waterfalls. The first Litlanesfoss is surrounded by basalt columns. The second, Hengifoss, is at the end of the trail. It measures 120m high and makes a noise of aircraft. This is the prettiest and most impressive of the 2. The hike is not too difficult but the beginning is a steep staircase.

Access : at the start of Egilsstadir, take Highway 1 south to Ulfsstadir then turn right on 931, cross Hallormsstadur then turn right to cross the bridge over  Lagarfljot. Then take left to the car park that marks the start of the hike.

• Eastern Fjords

We have tested :

• Seydisfjordur - youth hostels : it is composed of two buildings : one at exit north of the city and one in the downtown. It is in this second that we slept. It is the former hospital of Seydisfjordur converted into a hostel. It's pretty dated, our room was too small for 4. There are not enough health given the number of rooms. Considering the visits we made (detailed below), moving to Seydisfjordur was not the best choice. Indeed, for each site visited, we had to go through Egilsstadir, knowing that the road passes through a snowy pass. It is therefore recommended rather to find accommodation in Egilsstadir.
