Forvöð

This place is one of the hidden pearls in our area, not too many know about it or have visited this place. It's in the Jökulsárgljúfur canyon opposite Hólmatungur reached by a mud road and then a nice walk from the parking place. There's a lone rock called Vígabjarg with one of the hideouts of Grettir and as the story tells, Grettir jumped over the river with 2 muttons on his shoulders. Well, the canyon is rather narrow there, so who knows...
We invited Ingólfur's dad and Hjördís for the trip. Jón hasn't been there for about 50 years and it was Hjördís' and my second trip there.  Amazing to have places like this, where you can still experience unspoiled nature and don't encounter trash every second step. On the way back we spotted a female Gyrfalcon which was watching a few rock ptarmigans.
