Itinerary
Njarðvíkurskriður
30 minsAdmission Ticket FreeWe will stop at the cross at Njarðvíkurskriður, this area is surrounded by mistery. Until the year 1949, when a passable road came about, all traffic through the Njarðvíkurskriður screes between Njarðvík and Borgarfjörður Eystri was either on foot or on horseback. Njarðvíkurskriður were considered extremely dangerous, especially in winter, because of avalanches and, when raining heavily, mudslides. In such conditions, travellers in the area were putting their lives on the line. The screes hold sheer cliff drops down to the sea and above them steep slopes of mudslides, riddled with gullies.Hafnarhólmi
1 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeThis is the home of the puffins in Borgarfjordur Eystri. We will give us a good time enjoying the wildlife. next to Hafnarholmi is a restroom and a café.Borgarfjordur Eystri

20 minsAdmission Ticket FreeOur last stop before heading back we will stop at peaceful little haven, located at road 94 beside the Selfljót river south of Ketilsstaðir farm on the way out Héraðsflói. Here still stands a small cabin and a boathouse both of which belonged to Iceland´s master painter Jóhannes S. Kjarval (1889 -1972). When this master painter had spent two summers here a tent, just before 1950, the farmer at Ketilsstaðir presented him the piece of land in question and built the cabin which still stands.
