The itinerary in detail
The valleys of Dalir are steeped in history dating back to the Settlement of Iceland, as the main setting for many of Iceland's sagas and also where Eirikur “the Red” and his son Leifur Eiriksson lived. The unfrequented coastal route around Fellsstrond and Skardsstrond offers breathtaking views of the countless islands of Breidafjordur, with the backdrops of Snaefellsnes and the Westfjords.
