Transfer to the stunning landscapes of Seljalandsdalur and Tungudalur Valleys, where towering mountains and crystal-clear streams beckon adventurers to explore on foot. The trail winds through a landscape shaped by the raw power of glaciers, offering stunning vistas, colorful wildflowers, and a chance to spot elusive wildlife.
On this hike through varied terrain, you will encounter mountain lakes, crystal-clear streams, and carpets of fluorescent moss. Keep an eye out for colorful wildflowers that bloom during the summer months, and listen for the distinctive calls of the elusive golden plover, a bird often heard before it's seen.
The hike has a slow but steady ascend until you reach the base of the mountain Miðfell. From this vantage point, you will be treated to a spectacular view (weather permitting) over the surrounding mountains and the fjords, providing the perfect backdrop for a break. Continuing with the descent, you will pass through the ski area in Tungudalur, after which transportation will be waiting to return you to Ísafjörður.
