Tvísöngur Sound Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

After visiting Tvisöngur, it is essential to continue hiking on the steep (250 m) but very worthwhile highlight "View on the nice village".

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

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.

The elevation is not entirely correct. (According to Runtastic it was 400m) We managed the route in just under 4 hours, including photo breaks. On some paths (trails) you need to be sure-footed. Hiking boots are recommended. Here and there you go through small streams that come from the mountain. Remember to bring drinks.
