The horseshoe-shaped gorge Ásbyrgi [auspɪrcɪ] is part of the Jökulsárgljúfur National Park in northern Iceland. Once upon a time, the Jökulsá á Fjöllum was flowing here. This has meanwhile dug a bed further east. Beautiful forest rich canyon.

About an hour after the scramble, you will come to the Klappir viewpoint after a walk along the rock face. From here you have a view of the small lake Botnstjörn at the end of the Asbyrgi.
