Skaelingar - Sveinstindur

From Skaelingar hut north to the Sveinstindur hut
First 5 km on the road then through a rather narrow gorge with lots of stream crossings along the green Uxartindar mountains.
At the end of the gorge you find a beautiful green lagoon. Next steep ascend of a hill and also steep descend on the other side. Because of erosion ba jökulhlaup it may rather be difficult to get down to valley ground.Then a small river must be forded. The rest of the hike follows the Skaftá river through lava deserts and moss pastures. Be very careful in the moss. Don´t destroy it!
