Relatively easy walk with a Spectacular view!
The trip begins with a short bus ride to the small village of Hnifsdalur. From there we begin our walk into the wide and green valley behind the village where we'll first follow an old road up the valley bottom with steep mountains on both sides, until we move up to Thjofatindar Peaks. Between the peaks is an easy climb up to a mountain pass that offers a spectacular view over Isafjordur.
After some refreshments, we descent a bit and make our way down to Seljalandsdalur Valley, passing small mountain lakes and patches of almost fluorescent green moss. From the cross country ski center, we walk the main road to Isafjordur.
