Borgarfjordur - Breidavik
via Gagnheidi
4-5 hours. 12 kilometres.
An easy walk, mostly on a good jeep track, an earlier main
connection road between several places of the Viknaslodir Area.
Quite a few of the old chairns are still standing. The view from the
top of mt. pass Gagnheidi, where the view dial is located, is excellent on
a fine day. This view dial was placed there by the Hiking
Association of Borgarfjordur in 1999.
The mounds Holahorn are an ideal starting point. The trail takes you
between the mounds to two spots with paintings of the renowned painter
Kjarval, who painted them just before 1950, exactly where they are
located. From lake Holatjorn, where one of the paintings is located,
the trail continues along the hill Maelir (273m), where it is crossed by
the trail near Fagriholl. This trail is only marked to the
paintings. To the south of mt. pass Gagnheidi, other trails than the
old jeep track are on offer. Between Efri-Hestar and Nedri-Hestar is
a worthwhile waterfall or rapids.
