Dyrafjordur (Dýrafjörður) to Arnarfjordur (Arnarfjörður) coast track
Dyrafjordur (Dýrafjörður) to Arnarfjordur (Arnarfjörður) coast track
Look at the map and you will see a coastal route connecting Dyrafjordur and Arnarfjordur. This treacherous route is accessed by road 622 leading to Haukadalur valley and Svalvogar lighthouse.
From Svalvogar the adventurous track follows the coast to Lokinhamradalur, at times cutting into the cliff edge or hugging the rocky shoreline.
Why anyone would choose to build a route here is a good question. The story goes that the owner of a bulldozer got tired of waiting for a road being laid in these parts and decided to make the track himself.
Mostly the route is impassable due to rock falls but you can hike or cycle it instead, to get a feel for its remoteness and the precipitous, impressive landscapes.
