Rainbow Road

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

You have to be lucky to get a deserted photo here. It's best to do it very early or after 7 p.m. when there are no cruise ships at anchor.

Ytri-Hádegisá Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

Very idyllic place to rest and relax. From there it is not far (1.5-2 km) to the probably most impressive waterfall in Seydisfjördur, the Gufufoss.

Wooden Bridge Over the Stream

Highlight • Bridge

A small bridge, nothing special actually, but it is the bridge you have to take if you want to hike the small path. There are no rails but it is only about 2-3 meter long
