    From the tip of the rock island, around which the path loops, there is a beautiful view of the impressive Ásbyrgi rock formation, which was mythologically explained as the hoof print of Odin's horse. This 'Fortress of the Gods' (Ásbyrgi) is actually a part of the Jökulsá River gorge that has long dried out.
