Top Reykjahlíð Travel & Transportation Services

Our trip begins near Dettifoss, the most powerful waterfall in Europe. The first part of the trail is quite rocky and technically challenging for mountain bikers. Once we near the edge of the canyon we move on to crooked sheep tracks that wind through low bushes and over flat rock and rock trails. The view up there is simply incredible – seeing the way the Jökulsá River has carved out a deep path over the centuries is awe-inspiring and there is tremendous beauty no matter where you look. After the first 9 km (5.6 miles) we arrive in Hólmatungur, where are required to leave the sheep tracks for a gravel road in order to comply with the rules on biking in a national park.
