Fossvogsbakkar Shipwreck

Highlight • Structure

The shipwreck is clearly visible from the lookout point. It's not recommended to climb down to avoid damaging the coastline.

Fossvogur Bay Cycling and Walking Map

Highlight • Cycleway

Several cycle paths cross here. The board / map gives a good overview. Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo.
Followed the red trail north. Very comfortably laid out and well signposted.

Highlight • Viewpoint

On of the best view point among the many trails going through Heiðmörk forest! Be carefull it can be very muddy in Spring.
From the first snow untill April, it is better to go there with studded tyres.
