We’ll ride from Aðalból farm along lake Vestmannsvatn and past Goðafoss waterfall down to the valley of Bárðardalur to the farm Eyjardalsá. Soft riding trails and nice scenery all day.

Today is a nice and easy day riding up the valley Bárðardalur, following great trails along the riverbanks of Skjálfandafjlót, all the way to Mýri farm at the end of the valley. Overnight at Kiðagil guesthouse.

We’ll start the ride at farm Mýri which, through time, has served as a gate to the highland trail of Sprengisandur, connecting the north and south of Iceland´s farmlands. We’ll ride to lake Íshólsvatn and in to valley Mjóidalur following trail marked by “stonemen”; old waypoints made of rocks, to guide the way through the highlands. We’ll arrive at Fossgilsmosar in the late afternoon near the old camping place at Kiðagil which is well know from our riders’ national song “Á Sprengisandi”. We’ll leave the horses at Fossgilsmosar, feed them well with hay and drive back to Kiðagil guesthouse in Bárðardalur for the night.

We’ll follow the old trail of Sprengisandur all day with the magnificent view to the mighty glaciers of Iceland; Vatnajökull and Hofsjökull. We’ll arrive in the afternoon at the “oasis” Laugafell. A very special place in the middle of nowhere with a hot spring and green grass surrounded by the black desert of Sprengisandur. In the evening we’ll enjoy the natural hot pool for relaxing after 2 long days in the saddle.

We’ll leave Laugafell in the morning and ride down to Skagafjörður. Nice trails and easy ride along rivers and through moorlands all the way. Our destination Þorljótsstaðir is an abandoned farm deep in the valleys of Skagafjörður.

The last day is a nice and easy ride in the green valleys of Skagafjörður. We’ll end the tour at Sveinsstaðir farm. Here our horses will have a good break for 3 days before starting part 5 the final part of the whole Dragon Tour.
