Hiking
This is one of those locations that only Iceland can offer. The red/orange colour is due to the water, which is rich in iron, that coloured the whole riverbed with deposits.
The roundtrip hike from the parking area by the trailhead is 9km long and definitely worth one half-a-day hike, whichever your program/schedule is.

Hiking
From the car park it is 5.5 km each way to the Rauðauga spring. Two rivers have to be crossed. After rainy days, some sections can be very muddy and slippery. Hiking poles are recommended. 2coinstravel.ch/wanderung-raudufossar-raudauga-island
