Drive through Eidar and over the Mt. pass Vatnskard to Cove Njardvik to reach the colourful landscapes of Borgarfjordur East.  The hamlet's harbour is renowned for its birdlife and its church is worth a visit.  Refreshments are served at Alfakaffi and in the Cultural Community Centre, which also accommodates the Kjarval Hall.  Drive back the same way to a crossing where the road to the right leads to the hydroelectric power plant Lagarfossvirkjun and across river Lagarfljot.  The detour to sod farm Galtastadir fram is not great and a peek into the reconstructed church Geirsstadakirkja at the crossing to farm Husey does not take long.  From Husey we head straight back along river Jokulsa a Bru to road #1 and turn left to Egilsstadir.
