Overview
Jökulsárgljúfur / Canyon du fleuve Jökulsá /Jökulsá river Canyon
Waterfalls : Vígabjargfoss, Réttarfoss, Hafragilsfoss, Dettifoss
16 June 2014 Tour from north to south, right bank (east) of the river
We hiked from Forvöð (access by car) to Réttarfoss first (return to Forvöð).
On east bank there is no trail from Réttarfoss to Hafragilsfoss. Then we hiked from Hafragilsfoss (access by car) to Dettifoss.
Getting There
North Iceland . Starting-point : Ásbyrgi, arrival : Dettifoss
For the integral trail, hiking west bank is better.
