Gather in cars if you want.

Tour guide: Þóroddur Þóroddsson

Easy hike, accommodation and dinner. Overnight at Hotel Sel in the Mývatn region.

This trip is organized so that those who want to go on a short hike over Dalfjall with Þóroddur, the route is from Námaskarður to Krafla. After the hike, you will relax in the hot tub at Hotel Sel and then have dinner at the hotel.

Those who wish to skip the hike can arrive at the hotel at any time, but the hike is expected to end around 3 p.m.

Hiking to Dalfjall: Join cars in Akureyri and drive east to Námaskarð. Walk north from Námaskarð and mostly follow the high ridge of Dalfjall north towards Krafla Power Plant. The hiking terrain has some hills and valleys but is good underfoot, we visit lava pits along the way and cross a lava stream. From the mountain there is a good view west over the Mývatn region and east over the wilderness and finally over the Krafla Power Plant area.

Distance: 8 km. Elevation about 200 m.

The price for accommodation at Hotel Sel is 15,000 ISK per person in a double room and 25,000 ISK for a single room. Payment is made at the hotel. Included: Accommodation, breakfast and tour guide. Dinner from the menu paid separately.

Registration ends on August 25th because the hotel needs to know the final number by then.
