Waterfalls in river Vatnsdalsá

This hike is in grassy/mossy Icelandic landscape, alternating between sheep trails, gravel hills and mounds. Using the track coordinates is recommended although the trail is fairly easy to follow. Bear in mind that the entire trail is up on the canyon‘s eaast bank, never down in the canyon itself. The only place you might want to descend to the river is in order to approach the waterfall Kerafoss. But if you do so, you should go back a little bit, before ascending again. Once past the Dalsfoss waterfall, the river Friðmundará joins the main river, from the east. Thus, the trail is along the north bank of the tributary, where you will soon pass the Friðmundará waterfall. The track continues until you pass an iron gate, which should be kept closed at all times. Onwards you go until you reach a small waterfall or rapids, around 500 m from the fall mentioned above. Below this little fall is a large rock in the river, called Hlaupið (the Run), or sometimes the Stonebridge. To reach the other side of the Friðmundará, you need to walk across this rock. Once on the south side, you will walk up a fairly steep hillside, before turning right (westward) towards the main river Vatnsdalsá. Here it is important to follow the track‘s coordinates, since there are many different sheep tracks and you might end up taking a wrong and longer one. Once back on the trail along the main river, the rest of the way is quite straightforward, along the canyon bank, all the way last waterfall, Skínandi.
