In this 3d/2n biking tour, we head off the beaten path and explore abandoned fjords and coves in East Iceland.
Day 1
On day one we bike from the little fishing village of Eskifjörður across the highlands and into the abandoned cove of Vöðlavík. Once in Vöðlavík, you’ll find a black sand beach between two mountains, beauty, and tranquility. At the traveler’s hut at Karlsstaðir dinner will be prepared and we’ll spend the night.
Day 2
After breakfast, we bike up the mountainside from Vöðlavík cove and over fjord of Viðfjörður. Viðfjörður, although now deserted, used to be the center of transportation in East Iceland. From there we go over to Neskaupsstaður where we will spend the night at the farm stay at Skorrahestar.
Day 3
On the last day, we set off from Neskaupstaður and head over the mountain pass Oddskarð up to 700 meters above sea level. From there we bike downhill back to where we set off in Eskifjörður.
