One of the most beautiful passages of the hike: just in "Mordor" from the "Lord of the Rings", you cross the pass and it goes, along a swelling river down into the green valley. Past the "Kyrkjestein", a gigantic boulder, which is supposed to be like a church, the grazing sheep greet you soon and the first low trees appear again.

The pass is not that easy to pass: due to climate change, the snowfield in the valley has become smaller and you climb longer pieces over large boulders and slips off easily with smaller boulders uncontrolled; where there is still snow, it is often frozen too hard, as one could stamp the edges of the boots. The markings help little, one way, which one trusts one must look for oneself here, one only knows: always down the valley.
... a real experience, if you enjoy more difficult passages, but for one or the other, it can certainly cause a great discomfort.

In the section there are also two river crossings (one of which went with us in shoes).
