June 1, 2026,🇮🇸Island (27). Gjáin. Ein Tal mit vielen schönen Fällen.

In the afternoon, a second, smaller hike into a wonderful valley with smaller and larger waterfalls. Here too, almost without visitors, probably because it can only be reached via a 7 km 4x4 track, in less than perfect weather... and relatively far from the ring road.
