Víknaslóðir Trails
Covering Borgarfjörður Eystri and the abandoned fjords around it, Víknaslóðir (“the Trail of the Coves”) is one of Iceland’s finest multi-day hiking routes. With colourful rhyolite hills, empty coves and steep mountain paths, it offers a pure wilderness experience far from the crowds.
