Egilsstadir-around Lake Logurinn

After a drive through forest Hallormsstadaskogur with a stroll in its arboretum, visits at the Skriduklaustur Cultural Centre and the National Power Authority's Information Centre are suggested on the way to the Karahnjukar area.  On the way back, on the northern side of Lake Logurinn, it is ideal to hike up the slopes east of river Hengifossa to take a look at the third highest waterfall of the country.  From there onwards to Egilsstadir.

An Itinerary Suggestion for a 1 day tour from Egilsstadir

A round trip, preferably by a 4wd vehicle, from Egilsstadir through Valley Jokuldalur to Farm Bru via Valley Hrafnkelsdalur to the Karahnjukar power plant project and a detour to Mt Snaefell before continuing to the main Fljotsheidi road to the project's Visitor's Centre, Valthjofsstadur Church, the Cultural Centre Skriduklaustur, and through the county's largest forest Hallormsstadur back to Egilsstadir.

Another alternative from Farm Bru would be to continue to Valleys Bruardalir, especially Valley Laugarvalladalur to a refreshing natural bathing pool before continuing to the bridge of River Jokulsa to enter the Power Plant project and then enter the latter part of the above itinerary.
