Motto: Men's singing 🤫🤪🍺
Out of boredom in the dark winter months, the Icelandic bachelor club built this ingenious sculpture🛖(pic 10, 11) in which the tones are perceived in excellent vibrations (official version see below🤷‍♂️). There is a burp race 🍺 every Friday afternoon. I was invited as a special guest and won right away😝🤪🤣.

Great hike but definitely not easy! Very steep ascent and descent and not doable without proper footwear. My own recordings showed a height difference of around 350 meters. But you have a great view and pass beautiful waterfalls!
