Hvannagil
Hvannagil is a colorful rhyolite canyon with some spectacular rock formations.
It can be reached by taking the dirt road following the north bank of the River Jokulsa a Loni.
The dirt road begins just north of the bridge over the river and it leads upstream past numerous holiday homes to the entrance to the canyon.
A hiking trail gives access to the canyon and you can walk several hundred meters upstream into its wildest section, where the path then climbs steeply out of the gorge.
