The
Domadalur Route is actually
the westernmost part of the ancient Landmanna Route, more
frequently called “Fjallabaksleid Nyrdri”. The Domadalur
Route starts east of River Thjorsa in the Solvahraun lava
area and continues to Lake Frostastadavatn in the east. In
the west it passes between Mt Saudafell and Mt Valafell,
through Klofningar (Hekla lava field from 1878). From
there, a sidetrack continues to the south to the
Skjolkviahraun lava (1970) and the northeastern shoulder of
the Hekla volcano. After Klofningar an old track continues
to the fissure craters of Valagja and across the area where
River Helliskvisl disappears into the sand. A short
distance further east the Domadalur Route crosses the
southernmost tongue of the Lambafitjahraun lava field (1913)
and along the hills of Krokagiljabrunir and Mt Saudleysur.
