Hiking around Hugarro

The valley of Botnsdalur is blessed with an extraordinary amount of trees, certainly for Icelandic standards. Most of it is native birch forest but there are also non-native species.

In the fall, the variety of colors in Botnsdalur is a feast for the eyes.

Below you find a collection pictures.

Needless to say, this area is great for hiking. Not just to the Glymur waterfall but also the more flat areas before it and the many smaller waterfalls in the Hvalskarðsá river.
