Víknaslóðir Hike is a perfect choice for hikers who wish to explore the beauty of Iceland's East Fjords. It takes an average of 21 hours to complete. It is great for backpacking, camping, and hiking, and it's unlikely you'll encounter many other people while exploring. The views from this hike are truly breathtaking and make for a great start to any Icelandic adventure. In addition, it is a great area for bird-watchers, offering unique sightings of the many species in the region.

Starting in the town of Hofströnd, you'll traverse through nine miles (15km) of black sand deserts, ruins of ancient homesteads, and dramatic vistas of the Atlantic Ocean all the way to Seyðisfjörður.
