    Intermediate hike. Great for any fitness level. Mostly accessible paths. Sure-footedness required.

    Tips

    The tour ends at the source of the stream you follow. However, about 100 meters further, following the path and a slight incline to the right, you reach a small plateau with a magnificent view. I would definitely recommend this extension. On the way back, you don't reach the lava cave, but rather Selvfallafoss. That's also very beautiful.
