The Perfect 4 days Mountain Ride
We’ll begin in Fljótshlið through the woods and the Vatnsdal valley, heading towards the charming cabin Foss, famous for its grass-covered roof and the mighty river nearby. Our journey continues as we ride through the mountains towards Hungurfit. On the third day, we’ll cross Krokur and pass through Þverárbotnar, concluding the day with an overnight stay at the cozy cabin in Emstrur. On the final day, we’ll ride over the striking mountain Einhyrning, making our way back to Fljótshlið to close the loop on this unforgettable adventure.
Day 1 - Fljótshlíð - Foss
We meet up in Fljótshlið. From here, we ride through the forests and along Vatnsdal. As we make our way through the wilderness, we pause beneath the mountain of Þrihyrning. We continue our journey, crossing a crystal-clear river before finally arriving at the cozy cabin, Foss, with its grass roof, where we stay for the night.
Day 2 - Foss - Hungurfit
We depart from Foss and head northeast. The first part takes us through grassy trails, past grazing sheep and small streams and waterfalls. We pause under the mountain Hafrafell, where we reconnect with the car. The rest of the day unfolds on gravel roads winding over the mountains, offering stunning views of the rugged terrain.
As we press on, the cabin Hungurfit comes into view, offering a peaceful retreat. Here, we will settle for the night and enjoying the comfort of a shower
Day 3 - Hungurfit, Krókur, Emstrur.
The third day is by far my favorite day. We pack our saddlebags with snacks as the vehicle takes a different route, leaving us for an unforgettable ride over the mountain. Our first stop is in Krokur, a peaceful spot in the heart of the mountains, where we enjoy our lunch by the side of the Markarfljót river. We then continue our journey through Þverárbotnar, eventually arriving at the cozy cabin Emstrur.
Day 4 - Emstrur - Fljótshlíð
We ride from Emstrur, following a different path than the vehicle, and make our way over the mountain. The journey leads us towards the striking Einhyrningur mountain, where we stop for our first break in the quiet beauty of Bolstadur. As the day unfolds, we gradually return to civilization, riding past farms in Fljótshlið. The landscape transitioning from wilderness to peaceful farmland. Finally, we reach our destination, bringing this unforgettable adventure to a close.
