Akrar – Torfunes – Heiðarhús – Hof – Hof – Þverá – Eyjadalsá – Mýri
We start the ride in the countryside riding through the valleys Reykjadalur and Aðaldalur. Then a long day high up in the mountains where we cross through the hostorical passing of Gönguskarð into the hidden valley Flateyjardalur wich is truly a magical place, filled with stories from the past and rich vegetation between high mountains on both sides.
We follow the valley down to the shore and spend a day there enjoying beautiful landscape and peaceful atmosphere wich is unique at this magical place. It‘s a tradition to take a dip in the arctic ocean at least when the weather is reasonble for a cold bath! We ride back up the valley through Ljósavatnsskarð and into Bárðardalur valley, one of the longest valleys in Iceland. We follow great trails at the riverbanks of Skjálfandfljót all the way to Mýri, which, as the last farm of the north, holds the key to the higlands of Sprengisandur trail before travellers hit the road across the highlands.

Accomodation: at Saltvík farm in the beginning and end of the tour and cozy mountain huts in Flateyjardalur valley.
