What people say

"Asbyrgi canyon is a beloved natural wonder and stunning geological formation. This massive horseshoe-shaped canyon and has cliffs towering up to 100 meters high. Carved out over millennia by the glacier river Jökulsá á Fjöllum, the canyon sits within Vatnajökull National Park and offers visitors incredible scenery and landscapes."
"❗️EVA'S TIP: The view from the top of the canyon is insane, specially when visiting it during the sunset. For getting to the top, you will need to take the Klappir trail, easy and flat, which is around 5km both ways."
" Ásbyrgi has different hiking routes, we did a short one to begin our day and it was perfect. "

Mentioned in these guides

Have you ever dreamt about travelling to Iceland? Here I share the most complete 8-day itinerary along the Ring Road in Iceland! After having lived in Iceland for more than 1 year, I want to share with you my best tips based on my experience for travelling around one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen and that I like to call home. I’m also sharing special places and not only the most popular ones. What to consider before reading: • Personally, I believe that the most enjoyable way to travel around Iceland is by Campervan • The most important thing to pack is different layers of clothes, no matter what season you are in • Bare in mind that it's illegal to camp outside campings in Iceland (this is under your own responsibility) and this guide is not focusing on camping sites. • Be aware of the fast changing and though Icelandic weather. • Bring eye mask to sleep (there's almost no darkness during the Midnight Sun). • Feel free to modify the starting point of the road trip (either starting from the South or the West) according to the weather forecast (although it can be unpredictible). • I would not recommend taking detours that I suggest along the blog if weather conditions are not good. • Note that the maximum speed limit in Iceland is 90 km/h in main roads, make sure you don't overpass the limit. Traffic fines are very expensive in Iceland, you don't want to pay one! And be careful with sheep! They are constantly crossing the road. And most importantly, ENJOY YOUR TRIP TO ICELAND!! 😜🇮🇸 *all the pictures in this blog are mine otherwise stated
